Roasted-Poblano Guacamole with Garlic and Parsley - Mexican 3 pts

2 poblano chiles (about 6 ounces)

2 plum tomatoes (about 6 ounces)

2 garlic cloves, unpeeled

1 1/3 cups ripe peeled avocado, seeded and coarsely mashed (about 3)

3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons grated queso añejo or Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons sliced radishes

7 ounces baked tortilla chips (about 7 cups)

 

 

 

Preheat broiler.

Cut poblanos in half lengthwise, and discard the seeds and membranes.

Place poblano halves (skin sides up), tomatoes, and garlic on a foil-

lined baking sheet. Broil for 12 minutes or until poblanos are

blackened, turning the tomatoes once. Place the poblanos in a zip-top

plastic bag, and seal. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel poblanos, tomatoes,

and garlic.

 

Place the poblanos and garlic cloves in a food processor, and pulse

until coarsely chopped. Combine the poblano mixture, tomato, avocado,

parsley, juice, and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle with cheese and radishes.

Serve with tortilla chips.

 

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1/4 cup guacamole and about 3/4 cup

chips)

Mashed avocado loves company, so you'll find guacamoles in Mexico that

range from an intimate gathering of a few ingredients to a big fiesta

of tomato, cilantro, green chile, garlic and lime. In this version,

roasted poblanos add spark to the creamy, almost nutty-tasting

avocados, especially when bolstered with a little roasted tomato and

flat-leaf parsley.

 

ChupaNote: It makes a terrific pasta sauce too. Serve it over corn

pasta!
