Guacamole is a dip made from avocados which originates from Mexico. The name is derived from two Aztec Nahauti words - ahuacati ( avocado ) and molli (sauce). To make a simple guacamole, you can just add salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice to help balance the richness of the avocados. But, I love mine to have chopped tomato, cilantro, chilli and chopped red onion. These combination of ingredients really is a WOW! Can be addictive . My daughter loves this and it is her all time favorites. She will eat for supper too at times when she has to work late into the morning :)
I managed to get some Philippines avocados which are kind of small and have big seeds. Bland in taste but great for making Guacamole. Great as a dip and side dish for my seafood meal. I pan fried fish and fish roe and this flavorful guacamole was the perfect side dish for my seafood meal.
these were on offer in Jusco
and I grabbed 6 pieces
once the avocados has ripen, its time to make guacamole,
the combination of these ingredients turned
the guacamole into a flavorful side dish
I like my guacamole to have chunky bits of
everything...perfect as a side dish
tip- prepare the guacamole last as the avocados will turn
slightly brown if you prepare them early
Guacamole
ingredients
3 avocados
1 ripe tomato - remove seeds and diced
2 tbsp of chopped cilantro (stem and leaves)
2 tbsp of chopped red chillies
Some chopped garlic *optional
half red onion - diced
1 tbsp of lemon juice
salt and black pepper to taste
Method:
1. Cut the avocados in half, remove seed. Score the inside of the avocado with a blunt knife and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Place in a bowl.
2. Use a fork , roughly mash the avocado ( do not overdo it, the guacamole should be a little chunky)
3. Add in salt and pepper and mix well. Add in the rest of the ingredients except tomato and give it a quick stir. Wrap up with cling wrap and chill before serving. Chilling the tomato will hurt their flavor. Add in the chopped tomato just before serving.
Enjoy!
