Salsa Verde con Aguacate (Green Sauce with Avocado)

1. 1

   In a food processor, blender or heavy mortar, process or pound the garlic and salt to a paste.

2. 2

   Add the onion, chilies and tomatillos; either pulse in the processor to a slightly chunky puree or pound and mash the ingredients together as fine as possible.

3. 3

   For a smooth machine-finished puree, add the avocado and the cilantro and process.

4. 4

   If using the hand method, chop the avocado fine and mash it into the onion-tomatillo mixture; chop the cilantro leaves and stir in.

5. 5

   Or for a compromise version, pour the machine-processed onion-tomatillo mixture into a bowl and mix in the hand-chopped avocado along with the cilantro.

6. 6

   Serve as soon as possible, certainly within 1 hour.
