Instructions: Since there seems to be something of a "green recipe" thread running through the list at the moment, I thought Id submit a favorite of mine.

Gerlach, where it was introduced as a sauce for fish.

* If using fresh tomatillos, husk them, then boil about 10 min. or until soft in unsalted water. Let cool and chop. If using canned tomatillos, they can be chopped and added directly to the mix. I prefer the slightly sharper taste of fresh ones if you can get them...

Combine avocados, chopped tomatillos, habaneros and garlic in a food processor and mix well. Add lime juice and blend until desired consistency is reached. Add salt, taste and adjust if necessary.

Depending on the ripeness of the avocados, the juiciness of the tomatillos, and the amount of lime juice added, this sauce can vary from chunky and pale green to quite runny and dark green. Its very good on top of hearty fish like swordfish or tuna, and its great with chicken, but Ive also made it alone as a dip for parties.
