Hi and a huge welcome to Steve's kitchen all this week we doing a series
of dips, and you can't do a dip series without the famous
guacamole after all it goes back to the Aztecs
and it's one of my favorite dips and I've had a lot of requests for it
so let's get on and make these wonderful guacamole
Intro Tune :o) ♫♪
now I normally set out my ingredients here to show you and I've just thrown these
on the table I thought they looked
really nice! I'm just gonna film away as they are. I got some scallions or spring
onions here
at pick some fresh jalapeno peppers from the garden
gonna be using a little bit of garlic I am using tomatoes lot of people say not
to use tomatoes in a
guacamole but I'm going to use these these are the roma tomatoes with less
seeds and less
moisture in them. Now you cannot have guacamole without avocado now I
couldn't get any Hass but these little shepherds one the great things about
these is they've got a very small seed
and a lot of fresh inside them. I'm of course gonna be putting a little bit
of lime juice in there, that stops the avocado from going brown
and of course the aromatics celentro or coriander as we call it
I love this herb. I'm gonna dig my knives out from under here and get started
gonna start with these delightful little avocados I'm just going to cut in
through the center
and then we just get my little twist
there's the seed inside, little chop in there and pull the seed out of the
middle
and then all we're is going to do is take a spoon and scoop
the flesh out the Accardo straight into our bowl
now I'm taking three small sheppard avocados
One large Hass would probably do for this and whilst my avocados are small
small my lime
is huge I'm just gonna take of this lime here
and then just going to squeeze the juice
over the avocado itself and that will stop it from going brown
and now im going to season that with some rock salt
it does want a fair bit of salt to draw or all the flavors out
little bit a black pepper in there as well then I'm just going to take a fork to
mash this Avarcado up
and we don't a match that up to a smooth paste
I wanna leave a lotta texture it in the guacamole
but look at that beautiful color. It would almost make a great dip
just as as it is. And next we're gonna take our spring onions and we're just going
to dice them finely
and them I'm just going to add those
into the guacamole. Now got a couple of jalapeno peppers these ones are
particularly hot some I'm probably going to use one small one
and cut the top off, I will cut it down the middle and just remove the seeds out
from the center
and then we're just going to slice it up into strips
and finely diced up the chili
and that as well goes into the guacamole
and I've got a clove of garlic here which I'm just going to
flatten with my knife and then finely chopped up
of course you could use a garlic crusher I don't tend to use them
and they're gonna take that diced up garlic and pop that in there as well
and then the roma tomato now
as I say with the Roma's you get a lot less juice and seeds inside but if
you're worried about you guacamole going
wet you can always take the seeds out. I'm just going to
slices into strips and then I'm going to dice said these tomatoes up into little
tiny cubes
now I've only used half a roma tomato there
and I do respect those that don't like to use tomato in the guacamole please
feel free to leave it out
I just happen to like it in there. pop these little diced up tomatoes in
now I don't like to skimp on the Celantro or coriander
got a nice big bunch here which I'm gonna finely
chop up
and then we take that celantro or coriander, pop that in
to our guacamole mix. Now you can see the beautiful colors of the guacamole
before I start to stir this through
we're just going to take a fork now and mix that all together
and that now is ready to go into a serving dish
so I'm going to pop that in one of my dishes from my
earlier humus series. Now there is that guacamole up with a little coriander
or celantro on the top there
that his a delicious dip you really can't get away from it
I've tasted that as it's gone along to get the seasoning just right
and I'm gonna try this now with a Duritos he goes down the hatch
mmm
