Guacamole is an avocado based dip
which originated in Mexico.
Guacamole was made by the Aztecs
by mashing ripe avocados with a mortar and pestle
and adding tomatoes and salt.
After the arrival of the Spanish conquistador,
Guacamole became popular in Spain.
I have to confess.
Whenever I go to Mexico, there isn’t a day
when I don’t eat Guacamole and nachos on the beach.
What can I say?
Food does not have to be complicated to be delicious.
To make a Guacamole, you will need
ripe avocados, chopped cilantro, lime juice,
salt, water, chopped onions, diced tomatoes
and jalapeno pepper and hot chilly.
This one is optional depending on how you like your Guacamole.
In the bowl, put the chopped cilantro
the onion, the diced tomato, the lime juice,
the salt and the water.
Prepare the avocado.
Cut them in half using a paring knife.
Remove the pith and empty the avocado.
Then using a fork, mash the avocado
and mix all the ingredients together.
Prepare the jalapeno.
So cut the end off. Divide it in half lengthwise.
Remove the seeds; the seeds are very hot,
so it's better to remove them
unless you like your Guacamole very spicy.
Prepare the hot chilly.
Divide it by half.
Definitely remove all the seeds.
Cut the hot chillies in Julienne.
And cut it into little brunoise or small cubes.
Add the hot chilly to the Guacamole.
Mix well. Taste.
Very nice!
I was going to say adjust the seasoning if necessary
but my Guacamole is perfect.
So let's plate it.
Guacamole Bon appétit!
