Dry roasted tomatillos, garlic, poblano, and onions give this guacamole a little bit of oven-caramelized goodness.

Ingredients

1 lb. tomatillos
6 large garlic cloves peeled and left whole
1 small poblano pepper seeded and quartered
1 medium red onion quartered
1 c. roughly chopped cilantro
⅓ c. freshly squeezed lime juice
lime zest from 2 limes
2 tsp. cumin
¾ tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 large avocados

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and add tomatillos, garlic, poblano, and onion. Dry roast (no oil added) in oven for 10 minutes, then toss and roast for 5 minutes more, or until you are seeing nice charred marks. Let cool on pan for 20 minutes.
Add the roasted ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until broken down into chunks. Add cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pulse a few times until combined, yet still a bit chunky. Don't blend until completely smooth.
Chop the avocados into 1/2" pieces and add to a medium-large size bowl. Mash a bit to break up the avocado, then add the mixture from the food processor. Fold to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with chips and/or veggies. This is also great with tacos, eggs, chicken, and pulled pork.
This can be prepared an hour or so prior to serving. Simply cover tightly with plastic wrap (press the plastic onto the guacamole so air is not in contact with the guacamole) and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Inspired by a delicious lunch at Prairie Berry Winery, in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota.
