Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 6 medium tomatillos
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large avocados
  • ¼ cup (40 g) diced white onion
  • ¼ cup (4 g) chopped cilantro

  • Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 °F (232 °C). Remove husks from the tomatillos. Rinse under warm water and wipe clean. Cover a baking sheet with foil. Cut the tomatillos in half and put them on the baking sheet.
