MY PERFECT GUACAMOLE

Guacamole_recipe_A_House_in_the_Hills01

I debated about sharing a guacamole recipe because it seems like it’s such a simple thing to make, and my version really doesn’t have anything out of the ordinary.  But I’ve eaten enough mediocre guacamole at restaurants to realize that maybe there IS a need.  NO ONE SHOULD SUFFER MEDIOCRE GUACAMOLE!  And if I can save one person from a life  of mediocre guacamole, this post will have served it’s purpose.  But now things seem to have taken a turn and it’s become a HOW MANY TIMES CAN SHE WRITE GUACAMOLE situation.  So I’ll leave you to it, a no-fail exceptional guacamole recipe!  xx- Sarah

MY PERFECT GUACAMOLE

Yield: 4 servings as an appetizer

Serving Size:

MY PERFECT GUACAMOLE

Ingredients

  • 1/2 small red onion chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño
  • 5 small ripe avocados, pits removed
  • 1 teaspoon + 2 hearty pinches salt
  • 3 juicy limes
  • 1 large handful of chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Rinse, deseed and finely chop jalapeño.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine chopped onions, avocados, juice of 2 1/2 limes, chopped jalapeño, and salt. Mash with a fork leaving large chunks. Add additional lime juice and salt to taste.
  • Place 3 avocado pits in guacamole (some people believe this keeps the guacamole from browning, I personally just love how it looks.
  • Garnish with a hefty handful of chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

- Quality avocados are critical for a bowl of exceptional guacamole, and they have to be ripe! I always search out organic and a perfectly ripe avocado is soft to the touch, but still have a bit of firmness. If it's hard it's underripe and if it's very soft it's overripe!

- We usually eat all the guacamole we make, but I found a trick for storing it here that I can't wait to try!

    I grew up eating these tortilla chips that have a bit of soy sauce in them (have’a chips is what their called) and one time during a bit of home sickness decided to put a little soy sauce in my guac — it’s been my (not so) secret ingredient ever since

      Thank you Kate! The jalapeño isn’t that spicy when the seeds are removed, and it’s finely chopped- It just adds a nice bit of flavor and freshness. (I can’t eat spicy these days so I can totally relate). :)

    Your guacamole recipe looks really similar to mine! Everyone has their own “perfect” method of making guacamole, I love the variety. I totally agree that guacamole success lies in the quality of avocados. Perfectly ripe and creamy ones are definitely the key!

      They really are! Too ripe or not ripe enough and it’s just never as good.

    Love your presentation of the guacamole! My guacamole recipe is super similar to yours, but I add some diced mango. Mmmm.

    Mmmm, I think I could eat that whole bowl right now! And I’m thinking a margarita (or 2) would go just perfect with this :)

      IT is SO upsetting! I get so frustrated when it happens at restaurants because the guac is usually WHY I ordered the dish! ha!

      I’ve heard about the cumin addition but I’m so resistant to try it for some reason! I guess because I just love guacamole so much I don’t even want to make one batch that isn’t my favorite. So silly! Ok, I’m committing to giving the cumin a shot!

    My family makes guacamole at least once a week and love putting it on traditional foods as well as hamburgers! Our recipe is quite similar except we find adding garlic salt and garlic powder adds something extra to it.

    The days of peeling your vegetables with a knife have
    been over since we have been blessed with the peeler. Restaurant equipment and supply stores
    are a great resource for inexperienced restaurant owners, week-end chefs, or people who just want
    to prepare a recipe that they have seen done by a celebrity chef on one of the ever popular cooking shows.
    You can either make your own base or use a ready-made base, and
    then add whatever ingredients and toppings that you want.

    We would suggest ordering two products one for each of you and save on shipping.

    The local display printer today has every possibility as it pertains to
    style and quality, to contend with the big chain bookstore.
    Church youth groups can also be a big area of the Religious tshirt industry.

    Custom-designs are promoted to churches because of their occasions like camps, weekend retreats,

    and they produce that style a compatible document that into tshrits might be produced in-turn. Price is conditional on amount

    There are many third-party real estate sites on the internet that supply some
    extremely unreliable details. An ideal example of
    inaccurate realty information are the Zestimates” that Zillow supplies to consumers. The inaccurate info supplied by these third-party property websites is not only certain to the Webster, NY property market.

    If you have lost your pet or found a stray animal, please contact the
    Cleveland Pets Examiner or Lost & Found Ohio Pets with all of the
    information. The Pomeranian doesn’t always need a yard to run around
    in, so they are suitable for apartment living just
    as long as they are taken for daily walks. Anyone planning a
    litter must consider the well-being of the puppies, and any dogs they go
    on to produce.
