The gardening process is great fun but what keeps me going is the harvesting and of course makin stuff !!!
As my tomatillos are going gangbusters I figured a little quacatillo sauce was in order. If you have never has quacatillo it is definitely something to try. Kind of a ramped up sweet guacamole.
Almost everything came from the garden. The exception being the avocado and lime. Hopefully next year as they are pulling through.
Basically It takes 8 to 10 tomatillos, a small onion, some cilantro, jalapeño peppers,a clove of garlic, 1 to 2 large avocados and lime or lemon juice.
In the past I have just blended them in the food processor, my trusty Ninja. However this year I grilled them over the barbecue. the smoky flavor adds a lot to the taste and the tomatillos have a sweeter more robust flavor that way.
Put it all in the blender with the juice of a lemon or lime and blend away. Soooo easy. I also add an extra cubed avocado to the end product as we like chunks of avocado and they are ample in California.
Mmmm. Nachos for dinner tonight !!!!!
