POOR MAN'S BUTTER (SORT OF CHUNKY GUACAMOLE)

Poor Man's Butter (Sort of Chunky Guacamole) image

I originally found this in a Junior League Cookbook from El Paso, Texas. It is called Mantequilla de pobre (Poor man's butter). I have tweaked the original recipe by adding garlic, jalapeño and a can of mild green chilies. People actually devour this - hardly coming up for air! I am frequently asked for this recipe, I am posting it so that I can just send the link! If I remember correctly, I usually end up adding a bit more of the red wine vinegar than is called for here. I think that really makes it! Don't omit the cilantro!!

THE BEST GUACAMOLE

The Best Guacamole image

Simple ingredients in perfect proportion make a this dip a crowd-pleasing favorite for any event. We decided not to use tomato in ours -- it makes the guac watery -- and included both onion and garlic for extra zip. A healthy dose of fresh lime juice balances and brightens the flavors.

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 small red onion, diced small
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
4 ripe Hass avocados
1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 jalapeno, minced (seeds and membranes included if you prefer heat or removed for a milder version)
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup finely chopped)
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.

CHUNKY GUACAMOLE

Categories appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 ripe avocados
3 limes, juiced
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 serrano chiles, sliced thinly
1 big handful fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out the flesh with a tablespoon into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving them somewhat chunky. Add the remaining ingredients, and fold everything together to gently mix. Lay a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be.
Choose the right avocado variety: Hass avocados are the most popular variety for guacamole, as they have a rich, creamy flavor. However, you can use any type of avocado that you like.
Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your guacamole will taste. If possible, use freshly squeezed lime juice and chopped cilantro.
Season to taste: Guacamole is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste.
Don't over-mash the avocados: Guacamole should have a slightly chunky texture. If you over-mash the avocados, it will become too smooth and lose its flavor.
Serve guacamole immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. If you need to store it, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Poor man's butter, also known as chunky guacamole, is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, spread, or salad. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and healthy ingredients, poor man's butter is a great addition to any meal.
