Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 ounces tomatillos (6 or 7) -- husked and rinsed

1/2 small red onion -- finely chopped

3 fresh serrano chiles -- seeded (optional) and finely

chopped (3-4)

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 large California avocados -- (1 lb total)

 

Preheat broiler.

 

Broil tomatillos in a flameproof shallow baking pan about 4 inches from heat

until tops are charred, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn

tomatillos over with tongs and broil until charred, about 5 minutes more.

 

Combine onion, chiles, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add

tomatillos 2 at a time, mashing with a fork or pestle to

form a coarse paste.

 

Pit and peel avocados. Add avocados to mixture and continue mashing until

incorporated but still chunky.

 

Cooks' notes: Seed about half of chiles for moderately spicy guacamole, all of

them for mild.

 

Guacamole may be made 8 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room

temperature before serving.
