Guacamole With Roasted Garlic image

This is sublime guacamole! Be sure to make it fresh, right before you serve it and also make sure to use good, ripe avocados. I found this in the Chicago Tribune but it's a Wolfgang Puck recipe originally.

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole head of garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 medium fully ripe avocados, halved, pitted
1 lime, juice of
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 shallot, minced
2 small jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon salt
corn tortilla chips

Steps:

  • For the garlic: heat the oven to 375°. Place the garlic head on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil; rub with the olive oil. Wrap the garlic securely in the foil; roast until tender, about 50-60 minutes. Remove from the oven; set aside to cool at room temperature.
  • Unwrap the garlic; halve crosswise with a serrated knife. Squeeze out the softened garlic pulp into a small glass bowl, or scoop it out with a teaspoon or small knife. Cover the bowl; refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Scoop the avocado flesh into a mixing bowl; pour the lime juice over. Lightly mash until still slightly chunky; stir in the cilantro, 1-2 T. of the roasted garlic, shallot, jalapeno pepper and salt. Serve immediately with corn tortilla chips.
