Avocado Relish with Cilantro Pesto

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 serrano chile, seeded and roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 2 ripe Hass avocados, halved, pitted and diced
• 2 tablespoons lime juice

1. Put the garlic, pine nuts, serrano and some salt in a mortar and pestle and mash to a chunky, pesto-like consistency.
2. Add the cilantro and continue to mash; the pesto should be very coarse.
3. Put the avocados and lime juice in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Gently fold in the pesto until just combined, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.
