- Level: Easy
- Total: 10 min
- Active: 10 min
- Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
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.
