The Best Ever Guacamole - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 ripe avocados (the small bumpy ones, not the large smooth ones)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup yellow onions or 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1 fresh lime
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
-
Mince the garlic (add more or less to taste).
Dice the onion (ditto).
Cut avocado in half and twist to separate. Stab the pit with the long sharp edge of your knife: twist it, and the pit will come right out attached to the knife.
With a spoon, scoop out contents into a glass bowl.
Add the garlic and onion.
Using two knives cross-cut the mixture until it is in smaller chunks, then mash with a fork.
Squeeze in 1/2 the lime, white pepper and salt. Taste. Add more salt and/or lime as needed.
I don't care for a lot of additions, but cilantro is one I like. Avocados are too subtle, so adding too many other ingredients obscures its wonderful, nutty flavor.
Also consider black olives, tomatoes (de-seeded and diced) or jalapenos.
Serve with chips and home-made salsa, or add to any sw or Mexican dish.
