Ingredients
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, coarsely mash the avocados, salt and lime juice with a potato masher or large fork.
2. Roast a poblano chili pepper over an open flame or under a broiler until blackened and blistered. Allow to cool and rub off the blackened skin.
3. Tear the pepper open and rip out the seed pod, then give the pepper a brief rinse in water.
4. Crush the walnuts with the pepper in a mortar or food processor until you have a pesto-like texture.
5. Stir the mixture into the seasoned avocado base and add the diced white onion and cilantro. Mix in the seeds from the pomegranate, reserving a few for garnish.
