-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 12 ounces Wh tomatillos -- husked
4 Fresh serranos -- (4 to 6)
water
1 large avocado -- peeled and seeded
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 green onion -- chopped
2 cloves garlic
salt -- to taste

Place the tomatillos and the serranos in a saucepan. Pour in water to cover
them. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Drain.
When the chiles are cool enough to handle, discard the stems and seeds.
Transfer the chiles and tomatillos to a blender. Add about 2/3 of the avocado
to the blender along with the cilantro, green onions, and garlic. Puree until
smooth. Taste and add salt and, if you wish, sugar. Blend briefly.
Spoon the salsa into a decorative bowl. Chop the remaining third of the
avocado and stir it into the salsa.
