Categories     Condiment/Spread     Fruit     No-Cook     Cocktail Party     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Pear     Avocado     Winter     Healthy     Pomegranate     Grape     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup white onions, finely chopped
3 to 4 serrano chiles, finely chopped, with seeds
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 pounds ripe California avocadoes (about 4 large)
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3/4 cup pear, peeled and finely diced
3/4 cup seedless grapes, halved
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Special Equipment
molcajete y tojolote_ (mexican mortar and pestle) or food processor

Steps:

  • In a molcajete or food processor, grind onion, chiles, and salt into a rough paste. Gradually add the avocado, coarsely mashing it (you'll want it to be chunky). Stir in the lime juice. Fold in the pear, grapes, and 1/2 cup of the pomegranate seeds. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds over the guacamole and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pomegranates: Look for pomegranates that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color. Avoid fruits with blemishes or cracks.
  • Prepare the pomegranates: Cut the pomegranates in half and use a spoon to scoop out the arils (seeds). Place the arils in a bowl of water and use your fingers to gently remove any remaining pith or membrane.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your guacamole will taste. Choose ripe avocados that are free of blemishes and use fresh lime juice and cilantro.
  • Don't over-mash the avocados: Guacamole should have a slightly chunky texture, so be careful not to over-mash the avocados. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the avocados until they are combined with the other ingredients.
  • Adjust the flavor to your liking: Guacamole is a versatile dish, so you can adjust the flavor to your liking. Add more lime juice or salt if you want a tangier flavor, or add more cilantro or chili peppers if you want a spicier flavor.

Conclusion:

Andreas' Pomegranate Guacamole is a delicious and refreshing twist on the classic Mexican dip. With its vibrant colors and unique flavor, this guacamole is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. The combination of sweet pomegranates, creamy avocados, and tangy lime juice creates a perfect balance of flavors. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack or appetizer, give this pomegranate guacamole a try. You won't be disappointed!
