AWARD WINNING GUACAMOLE

Award Winning Guacamole image

This recipe comes from The Best of Mexico cookbook. It won first place at my work site last year during our annual Cinco Day Mayo salsa and guacamole competition. Wear gloves when you chop the Serrano chilies. There is not a lot of lime juice in this recipe so prepare it as close to serving time as possible to avoid browning.

AWARD WINNING CINCO DE MAYO GUACAMOLE WITH BLUE CHEESE AND SAGE

Award Winning Cinco De Mayo Guacamole With Blue Cheese and Sage image

I saw this on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Michael Simon was raving over it. It sounded so interesting I had to make it and just happened to have everything on hand(okay, I was out of cilantro, but didn't let that stop me). I didn't have the six pepper blend, but did have black, white and pink peppers, so used that in the pepper mill. This is very different from the traditional guacamole. The name of the episode, was the totally unexpected, after all. Adapted from Web Gangsta who recreated the recipe from Lopez Southwestern Kitchen in Cleveland, Ohio. http://thewebgangsta.com/index.php/2010/05/award-winning-recipe-for-cinco-de-mayo-guacamole-with-blue-cheese-and-bacon-inspired-by-food-network/

Time 20m

Yield 2-3 cups, about

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3 avocados
2 slices vegetarian bacon, crumbled (I use Bacon with a Vegan)
1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled, room temperature (or gorgonzola cheese)
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1 roma tomato, seeded, finely chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cumin powder (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 fresh lime, juiced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Tabasco sauce, garlic flavor (to taste)
chipolte chili powder, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried sage (or 1 tsp. fresh chopped sage)
pepper, blend to taste (recommended-Durkee 6 Pepper Blend)

Steps:

Combine onion, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro,cumin powder, kosher salt and garlic in a bowl. Mix well, cover, and sit in refrigerator for at least 60 minutes.
Chop 1 avocado into small chunks. Add to bowl with other ingredients.
Mush remaining 2 avocados and add to bowl. Fold into mixture.
Add blue cheese and bacon crumbles. Fold again, try not to stir the guacamole up too much, as you want to maintain the firmness of the avocados as much as possible.
Add Tabasco, chipolte powder, sage and Six Pepper Blend to taste. Fold in as necessary.
Squeeze 1/2 lime over mixture. Fold in again.
Serve with chips and enjoy!

Tips:

Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture. If you use a food processor, be careful not to over-process the avocados, or they will become too runny.
Add your favorite seasonings: Common seasonings for guacamole include lime juice, cilantro, onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. You can also add other ingredients, such as diced tomatoes, chopped jalapenos, or crumbled queso fresco.
Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, the flavor will be best if you serve it within a few hours of making it.

Conclusion:

Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. It is also a great way to use up ripe avocados. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious bowl of guacamole that everyone will love. So next time you have an avocado on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
