Deane and I love guacamole. It's one of those foods we love and cherish equally, and one which promotes our happiness, or so I believe. We often argue about whose guac is better, challenging each other to a "Guac Off!" He likes to puree all the ingredients in his CuisineArt, making it thin and almost to the consistency of a bisque. I like to do EVERYTHING BY HAND! Mine is thick and has the consistency of a thick and creamy clam chowder.
Lately people have been asking me how I make my guacamole. I will share this simple recipe with you, so long as you promise me you'll make EVERYTHING BY HAND!
Rochelle's Heavenly (Holy) Guacamole!
1. Mix all of these in a bowl:
- 2 large ripe Avocados, shell removed (I usually use Hass avocados and keep seeds with avocados)
- 1 large Tomato, finely chopped (I usually use Roma because they're cheaper than Vine)
- 1/2 large Onion, finely chopped
- 1 large Lemon (remove the seeds first)
- 2 small Limes (optional)
- 2 tbs Cilantro (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
2. With a spoon, mix all the ingredients together, making sure you scrape all the avocado off of its seed. After a couple minutes you'll get the consistency you want, which is thick, but juicy.
3. Eat with your favorite chips.
Note: Lasts up to three days in the fridge. The lemon/lime and the avocado seeds help to keep it from browning too fast.
Enjoy!
