Preparation
- Step 1
In a food processor or with mortar and pestle, process or pound the garlic and salt to a paste. Add onion, chilies and tomatillos; pulse in processor or pound to make a slightly chunky paste.
- Step 2
Scoop out the avocado flesh. For a smooth machine-finished puree, add it and the cilantro to the processor and process very fine. To do it by hand, finely chop the avocado and mash it into the onion-tomatillo mixture; stir in cilantro leaves. (For a medium texture, pour the machine-processed onion-tomatillo mixture into a bowl, and mix in the chopped avocado and cilantro.)
- Step 3
Serve immediately as a dip or a sauce with chips or vegetables.
