NINFA'S GREEN SAUCE



Ninfa's Green Sauce image

This green sauce is popular in many Mexican restaurants around Houston. Ninfa's was one of the first to serve this sauce. The recipe has been printed in the Houston Chronicle several times. I've adapted it slightly. Mama Ninfa Rodriquez Laurenzo opened the original Ninfa's Restaurant on Navigation street in 1973. Her food differed from the usual Tex-Mex restaurants in town. She seemed to achieve fame in the kitchen overnight. Some of her famous guests included George Bush, Michael Douglas, John Travolta, Rock Hudson, and Aerosmith! Mama Ninfa lost her battle with cancer last year, but her much loved Mexican food lives on. The original Ninfa's is still there, and there are several other locations here in Houston as well.

AVOCADO SALSA

Fresh tomatillos bring tanginess to this silky avocado salsa, and that acidity keeps the blend green even after days in the fridge. For more heat, double the chiles and keep all their seeds. If you don't have a food processor, you can make this in a blender, but you may need to add a splash of water to purée the ingredients at the start.

  • 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.
