It's cooking time!!! Quacatillo anyone ?

  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 !!!!!
