Guacamole
Simple, vibrant, fresh guacamole. Directions for the authentic mortar and pestle method and the common method.
Ingredients
- 3 hass avocados if your avocados are very small, use 4.
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/3 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced or a white onion (I just love the flavor red onion gives!)
- 1 small jalepeno, finely chopped remove the seeds if you do not want it spicy!
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Molcajete (Mortar and Pestle) Method -Recommended!
- Take about half of the amount of chopped cilantro, half the amount of red onion, and half the amount of jalapeno and put it into the Molcajete (Mortar).
- Squeeze some lime and sprinkle some sea salt on top of the cilantro, red onion and jalapeno. Use the pestle to smash and grind the ingredients until it is a rough paste consistency. (enjoy the authentic process!)
- Remove the skin and seed from the avocados and place them into the Mortar. Mash with the pestle until it is the chunky or smooth consistency you like. Add in the rest of the chopped ingredients and lime juice, using a spoon to combine everything. Taste and see if it needs more salt, lime, ect..and adjust to your preference! Serve with tortilla chips or fresh veggies and ENJOY! (see blog post above about proper storage)
