AVOCADO, CUCUMBER, AND TOMATILLO SOUP

Steps:

• Place the scallions and cilantro in blender, and blend until smooth. Add the lime juice, tomatillos, and cucumbers; blend until smooth. Peel the avocados, remove pits, and cut into large chunks. Transfer to blender. Add the stock, salt, pepper, and Tabasco; blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice. Taste for seasoning. Transfer the soup to a nonreactive container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down so plastic touches soup. Let chill 1 to 2 hours (do not keep overnight).
• Mix well before serving, and adjust the seasoning to taste. Slice the baguette crosswise into quarter-inch slices, and lightly toast the slices. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with half a tomatillo and a dab of creme fraiche. Serve with a slice of toast and a lime wedge.

AVOCADO AND ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place tomatillos in pan and toast until charred on 1 side, about 10 minutes for a medium or large tomatillo. The color in the middle should be fading from pale green to olive. Turn tomatillos over and continue to grill until charred on the other side, about 10 minutes, but not for so long that they burst. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
• Place chile(s), garlic clove and onion slice in skillet and toast, turning often, until chile is lightly charred and garlic is charred in spots and softened. The onion should be lightly colored on both sides but not charred black (that will make it bitter). Remove from heat. Peel the garlic and transfer, with the onion and chiles, to a blender. Add tomatillos and any liquid that may have accumulated in the bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.

• Meanwhile put the onion slices in a bowl, cover with cold water and add a few drops of vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Drain and rinse with cold water. Cut in half or into smaller pieces.

Strain through a medium strainer, taste and adjust seasonings. Chill for two hours or longer. Garnish each bowl with chopped cilantro and a few drops of lime juice.
