Creamy Guacamole Salsa (like Mama Ninfa's)
A creamy guacamole salsa that's a mashup of guacamole and salsa verde. This is the famous Mama Ninfa's green sauce recipe tweaked to give it more of a flavor punch!
Ingredients
Cook:
- ½ lb. green tomatoes roughly chopped
- ½ lb. tomatillos husk removed and roughly chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 1-2 jalapenos seeds removed for a milder flavor
Blend:
- 2 medium avocados
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves and stems
- ½ cup sour cream or greek yogurt
- 2-4 tablespoons lime juice to taste
Instructions
- cook: add the ingredients to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat along with a big pinch of salt and stir to combine. When you hear it start to sizzle, lower the heat to medium-low and let it cook for 12-15 minutes or until everything softens. If around the 10-minute mark you see a lot of liquid leftover in the pan, kick the heat up to medium-high to help evaporate all the liquid, stirring as needed to prevent sticking. Allow the mixture to cool for 20 minutes before proceeding.
- blend: add the avocados, cooled tomatillo mixture, and cilantro to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the sour cream and continue to mix until it reaches a mostly smooth consistency. Drizzle in a couple tablespoons of lime juice and pulse to combine. Taste and adjust with additional lime juice and salt as desired. Pour the guacamole salsa into a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
Notes
- If you can't find either green tomatoes or the tomatillos you can double the amount of the other ingredient (so a pound total of either the green tommies or the tomatillos)
- This will comfortably feed about 5 people, the recipe can also easily be doubled to serve more!
