Best recipe for Guacamole?


Recommended Posts

I love this recipe and it is so easy!

5 Ripe Avocados

Juice of 1-2 Limes

Handful Fresh Cilantro, chopped

1/2 small Red Onion, diced small

2 plum Tomatoes, seeded and finely diced

1 Jalapeno, seeded and finely diced (optional)

Few pinches of Salt or to taste

Pepper to taste

  1. Mash avocado to desired consistency with juice of 1/2 lime
  2. Add remaining ingredients and gently mix so the guacamole stays a little chunky (unless you want it really smooth)

Love this Rick Bayless three-in-one recipe. Basic: avocado, garlic, salt. Intermediate: add cilantro, lime. Advanced: add hot chili peppers, onion, tomato.

IMO simple is best when it comes to guac. I usually use avo, lime, salt, garlic and cilantro. I wing it and taste it and YUM. Key: ripe avocado. It will ripen quickly on a window sill, but if it's not ripe it won't mash.

I made some guac last night but it wasn't quite ripe I just blended it all in a food processor and it turned out well enough, definitely more smooth and not so chunky. I am not a huge fan of avocado on it's own, but I do like guacamole.

This is my favorite recipe when I have time. Other times, it is just avocado, lime juice, salt and maybe a hit of garlic powder. Mash it all up and enjoy!

If I'm in a hurry and my avocado is ripe I just make what I call 'Guac Mash'...

1 ripe avocado

Juice of one lime

salt

pepper

sprinkle of cumin

Mash together with a fork. Viola!

If I have more time, this is my favourite version to make...

2-3 ripe avocados, cubed and coarsely mashed (I like to mash 2, and leave one more chunky)

1 large tomato, diced

1/4 large red onion, diced small

1/2 jalepeno pepper, seeded and diced small

juice of two limes

lots of salt

pepper

cumin

handful of cilantro, coarsely chopped

Stir together with a fork. Let stand at least 30 minutes before eating (up to a couple of hours in the fridge).
