Instructions
1 Roast the poblanos either over an open flame or under the broiler, turning occasionally until the skins are blackened and blistered all over, 5-10 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle, then, wearing gloves if your skin is sensitive to capsicum, peel off the skins. Slice the peppers in half and remove the veins and seeds. (If the peppers are very spicy, you can rinse them to remove more of the capsicum, which concentrates in the seeds and veins.) Chop the flesh coarsely. 2 Meanwhile, place the tomatillos in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 – 10 minutes, until the tomatillos turn a drab green. Drain and let cool slightly. 3 Combine the tomatillos in a food processor or blender with the poblanos (if the peppers are very spicy, you may not want to add all of them), and onion. Blend until smooth, and to release some heat. Let cool to room temperature, 20-30 minutes, then add the cilantro leaves, the juice of 1 lime, salt, and the avocado flesh. Puree until smooth. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or poblano to taste. Serve right away or chill until needed. 4 The salsa is prettiest within the first day or two day when it is bright green, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.View original recipe
