Best Ever Chunky Guacamole - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 avocados, preferably Haas and medium in size
6 slices bacon
1 teaspoon bacon fat (reserved and rendered from cooking the bacon)
3 large scallions, sliced thin, about 1/3 cup
1 medium garlic clove, pressed (If you don't have a garlic press, just mince the garlic. I usually use 2 or three garlic cloves)
1 small jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and minced
1/4 cup cilantro leaf, minced
salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (more or less to taste)
2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh squeezed)
Preparation
-
Fry bacon on stovetop until crisp.
Drain bacon and reserve at least 1 teaspoon of rendered bacon fat.
When bacon is cool to touch, crumble it.
Halve one of the avacados, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
Mash the flesh lightly with the scallions, garlic, chile, cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cumin with the tines of a fork until just combined.
Add the bacon crumbles and bacon fat and combine with avacado mixture.
Halve, pit, and CUBE the remaining 2 avocados. Add the cubes to the bowl with the mashed avocado mixture.
Sprinkle the lime juice over the diced avocado and mix the entire contents of the bowl lightly with a fork until combined but still chunky. Adjust the seasongs with salt if necessary,(you can add a bit more bacon fat if you like), and serve.
