¡Guacamole Ricco! (delicious)
Makes 1 Standard Size Bowl
Guacamole, a dip made from avocados, is originally from Mexico. The name is derived from two Aztec Nahuatl words – ahuacatl (avocado) and molli (sauce). This recipe has been improved time and time again to perfection! It’s a delicious, fresh and healthy dip or pita bread spread.
Ingredients
2 ripe Avocados
1/3 small Red Onion, minced
¼ teaspoon of Chilli
¼ teaspoon of Garlic
1 teaspoon of Coriander Leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of Lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
Sprinkle of ground Black Pepper
3/4 ripe Tomato
Method
No need to pre-chop any ingredients if you have a blender. Simply put all ingredients into the blender and spin! Otherwise, pre-chop as directed in ingredients list and mash thoroughly.
Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, pita bread or nachos.
Top Guacamole Tips:
- Guacamole can last 4-5 days if you store correctly. Put the avocado seed in the bowl of guacamole, don’t ask why this works – it just does! Then cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation (turning brown) as a result of the air reaching it, and keep in the fridge.
- To extend a limited supply of avocados, add either sour cream or cream (cottage) cheese to your guacamole. Guacamole purists may be horrified, but it’s great!
Inspiring!
