Avocado Crema

Okay, this isn't my idea originally, but it's a really good garnish topping. Very classy looking and a great final garnish on things pork and chicken.


1 ripe avocado, peeled and pit removed
1/2 cup buttermilk (or cream, but add extra T of lime)
3 tablespoons lime juice (from about 1 1/2 limes)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt

Puree all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pour into a small squeeze bottle. It should be a good consistency for squirting without being runny. If not, add a little more lime juice or cream. Cap the bottle and chill until read to use. It only keeps a few days, so use it well!

Yield: 1 1/3 cup
