2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 serrano chile, seeded and roughly chopped

2 tablespoons pine nuts

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

2 ripe Hass avocados, halved, pitted and diced

2 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

Put the garlic, pine nuts, serrano and some salt in a mortar and pestle and mash to a chunky, pesto-like consistency. Add the cilantro and continue to mash; the pesto should be very coarse.
Put the avocados and lime juice in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the pesto until just combined, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.
