Mmm Guacamole
|
|
This is just about the best guacamole I've ever had, and my mouth is watering because I'm making a double batch tomorrow. Thought I would share. Now I just have to figure out which beer will go with it best . . .
Ingredients
3 Hass avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup diced onion (I use white, because I find red ones taste nasty)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic (or more if you like garlic as much as I do . . .)
Directions
In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately.

Pretty darn similar to how I make it, I usually go by taste though so I don't have set measurements for ingredients. I also add some cumin to it, which I do enjoy. Man I want some fresh guac now!

I cheat when I make mine. Typically, I make salsa at the same time, and just put a bit of salsa into the guac in place of your last four ingredients.

I'm making salmon patties with guacamole for Sunday evening's meal. My recipe will be just like this- thanks for posting it!

Looks similar to the Alton brown recipe I always make except Alton's has cumin and cayenne pepper. It's by far the best gauc I've ever had.

I use basically the same recipe ( although rough measurements); but I add cumin, ancho chills powder, cayenne and a finely diced jalepeno. I like to start with the minced garlic and salt in the bowl and mash them together; the salt works like an abrasive and makes a paste then add lime juice. Once done I cut other ingredients. It's always best to make sure lime juice is ready to minimize avacados exposure to air, else it'll brown quickly.

I like the idea of your technique of mashing the salt and garlic together first... I'm going to have to try that next time I make guac
