Dry roasted tomatillos, garlic, poblano, and onions give this guacamole a little bit of oven-caramelized goodness.
Ingredients
1lb.tomatillos
6large garlic clovespeeled and left whole
1small poblano pepperseeded and quartered
1medium red onionquartered
1c.roughly chopped cilantro
⅓c.freshly squeezed lime juice
lime zest from 2 limes
2tsp.cumin
¾tsp.kosher salt
½tsp.freshly ground black pepper
4large avocados
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and add tomatillos, garlic, poblano, and onion. Dry roast (no oil added) in oven for 10 minutes, then toss and roast for 5 minutes more, or until you are seeing nice charred marks. Let cool on pan for 20 minutes.
Add the roasted ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until broken down into chunks. Add cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pulse a few times until combined, yet still a bit chunky. Don't blend until completely smooth.
Chop the avocados into 1/2" pieces and add to a medium-large size bowl. Mash a bit to break up the avocado, then add the mixture from the food processor. Fold to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with chips and/or veggies. This is also great with tacos, eggs, chicken, and pulled pork.
This can be prepared an hour or so prior to serving. Simply cover tightly with plastic wrap (press the plastic onto the guacamole so air is not in contact with the guacamole) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
