Mashed avocado loves company, so you'll find guacamoles in Mexico that range from an intimate gathering of a few ingredients to a big fiesta of tomato, cilantro, green chile, garlic and lime. In this version, roasted poblanos add spark to the creamy, almost nutty-tasting avocados, especially when bolstered with a little roasted tomato and flat-leaf parsley.
Cooking Light DECEMBER 2001
Preheat broiler.
Cut poblanos in half lengthwise, and discard the seeds and membranes. Place poblano halves (skin sides up), tomatoes, and garlic on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil for 12 minutes or until poblanos are blackened, turning the tomatoes once. Place the poblanos in a zip-top plastic bag, and seal. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel poblanos, tomatoes, and garlic.
Place the poblanos and garlic cloves in a food processor, and pulse until coarsely chopped. Combine the poblano mixture, tomato, avocado, parsley, juice, and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle with cheese and radishes. Serve with tortilla chips.
