I love avocados. That's it. Plain and Simple. So of course guacamole is a dish that's made very often in our house. Excellent as a dip of course, top up your tacos and fajitas and burritos with it or use it as a spread instead of mayo!
This is the basic recipe - I learnt this one from the local taco shop! Along with an awesome spicy salsa recipe- which will also appear on the blog.
How to spot a ripe avocado- this is a common refrain- the only way I know is - the avocado skin darkens as the fruit ripens. If you lightly squeeze the avocado a perfectly ripe one will gave just a bit of give. It's something that you will instinctively know when you use avocado regularly.
2 ripe avocados
1 large lemon - juiced- please get rid of the seeds
2-3 large garlic cloves - crushed through a garlic press
1 tsp salt
1 TBS cilantro leaves- finely chopped
Slice open the avocado and get rid of the seed. Scoop out the flesh and place it in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt and garlic and mash it all into the avocado. It need not be smooth- a bit lumpy is actually what we are looking for.
Add the cilantro leaves and fold them in.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap till you use it.
