Guacamole image

Everybody loves guacamole, and everyone has an opinion as to what an authentic guacamole should be. I leave it up to you whether to add onion and chile - but please don't make it in a food processor. Guacamole should have texture; use a fork or a mortar and pestle to mash the avocados.

Categories     easy, quick, dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 10m

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 small red onion, minced optional
3 ripe Haas avocados
1 medium ripe tomato, chopped
Juice of 1 to 2 limes, to taste
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon lightly toasted cumin seeds, ground
1 small serrano chile, seeded and minced optional
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • If you are including onion in your guacamole, place the onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for five minutes, then drain, rinse and dry on paper towels.
  • Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop out the flesh. Mash in a mortar and pestle or with a fork. Do not use a food processor. Add the chopped tomatoes and lime juice, and continue to mash. Stir in the onion, garlic, cumin, chile and salt to taste. Taste and adjust seasonings. If not using right away, cover with plastic, placing it directly on top of the guacamole. Stir before serving to restore the green color.

This guacamole was a little too bland for my taste, but that's easily remedied by adding more salt and pepper. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I'll definitely be making it again.

This guacamole was a little too spicy for my taste, but that's easily remedied by reducing the amount of jalapeƱo pepper. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I'll definitely be making it again.
