Classic Guacamole image

Avocados are native to Mexico, where they are used as more than just an ingredient in a chip dip. Here I'll show you three stages of making guacamole, from the most simple and delicious version to an elegant dip to serve your guests.

Categories     appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 avocados
kosher salt
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon lime juice, plus more to taste; preferably from fresh limes
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped, plus a little extra for garnish
1/2 serrano pepper, or 1 jalapeño
1/2 plum tomato
1/4 white onion

Steps:

  • Cut around each avocado lengthwise, then twist the two halves apart. Remove the pit and scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocados (preferably with an old-fashioned potato masher) into a coarse purée. Season the purée with salt, about 1 teaspoon. Mince the clove of garlic. Sprinkle the minced garlic with a little salt, and mash with the side of your knife into coarse paste.
  • Fold in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
  • Mince the green chile and add the desired amount to the bowl. Chop the tomato and add to the bowl. Mince the onion (you should have about a third of a cup) and rinse under cold running water in a small mesh strainer. Shake off the excess water, and mix into the avocado.
  • If you aren't serving the guacamole immediately, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate. For best results, make the guacamole within 2 hours of serving and serve in batches.

CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC GUACAMOLE



Chef John's Classic Guacamole image

There are few things as easy, healthy, and delicious as this ubiquitous dip. However, unless you're grinding your aromatic vegetation in a molcajete, or against a cutting board, you're really not tasting a classic guacamole. The flavors not only become more intense, but actually change in character. This is just what those bland, fatty, but delectable avocados need. That and a thoughtful seasoning of lime juice, and maybe some more salt.

Time 20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons minced fresh serrano chili
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
¼ cup finely diced white onion
½ teaspoon kosher salt for grinding vegetables, plus more to taste
4 large Hass avocados
1 cup diced ripe tomatoes, drained
1 lime, juiced, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Place minced peppers, 1/4 cup of the chopped cilantro, and the diced onions on a cutting board. Chop them together into very small pieces. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Using the flat side of the knife blade, smear the mixture to work it into a paste, and chop again to achieve as fine a texture as possible.
  • Stem, halve, and pit the avocados. Scoop out flesh and place in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, onion and serrano mixture, salt, and fresh lime juice. Mash with a potato masher to desired texture (smooth or chunky), 5 or 6 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate.
