Guacamole Recipe
- 4 ripe avocados
- 2 cloves of garlic (about a tablespoon chopped)
- 1 medium jalapeno
- 1/3 cup of finely chopped red onion
- 2 sprigs of green onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped, fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 roma tomato, seeded and diced
- salt and pepper
- Mince jalapeno and toast them in a small fry pan over medium heat.
- Chop garlic, red onion, green onion and cilantro finely.
- Can use a food processor for the garlic and onion.
- Add to a medium sized bowl.
- Add jalapeno to bowl once toasted
- Cut avocado in half, remove seed, scoop out flesh and add to bowl.
- You can chop the avocado before adding if you prefer.
- I usually just mash it all together at the end.
- *Reserve one avocado seed for later.
- Add cumin and lime juice
- Start mixing and mashing using a fork.
- If the avocado isn't mashing well, I run my knife through it as I mix with the fork.
- Add salt and pepper (about a 1/2 teaspoon).
- I start by adding a little and gradually add more as I taste it.
- Gently stir in diced tomato at the end.
- If serving at a party I just sprinkle the tomato on top for the pretty contrast in color.
- Let the flavors congeal for about 15- 20 min before serving.
- *When storing guacamole, put an avocado seed in the middle of the guac to keep it from oxidizing.
- Cover with plastic wrap and push the plastic onto the guac so that go air is touching it.
- You dip will stay fresh for about 4 days.
