THE BEST GUACAMOLE



The Best Guacamole image

Simple ingredients in perfect proportion make a this dip a crowd-pleasing favorite for any event. We decided not to use tomato in ours -- it makes the guac watery -- and included both onion and garlic for extra zip. A healthy dose of fresh lime juice balances and brightens the flavors.

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 small red onion, diced small
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
4 ripe Hass avocados
1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 jalapeno, minced (seeds and membranes included if you prefer heat or removed for a milder version)
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup finely chopped)
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.

THE BEST EVER GUACAMOLE



The Best Ever Guacamole image

I found this recipe in an old James Beard cookbook over 25 years ago. People beg me to make it. It's simple and easy and...addictive! Make this appetizer right before serving. To preserve any leftover guac, store it in a container with a minimum of surface area exposed. Smooth out the top of the guac and put plastic wrap directly onto it to minimize oxidation (the browning of the guac). Seal the container tightly.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ripe avocados (the small bumpy ones, not the large smooth ones)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup yellow onions or 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1 fresh lime
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Mince the garlic (add more or less to taste).
  • Dice the onion (ditto).
  • Cut avocado in half and twist to separate. Stab the pit with the long sharp edge of your knife: twist it, and the pit will come right out attached to the knife.
  • With a spoon, scoop out contents into a glass bowl.
  • Add the garlic and onion.
  • Using two knives cross-cut the mixture until it is in smaller chunks, then mash with a fork.
  • Squeeze in 1/2 the lime, white pepper and salt. Taste. Add more salt and/or lime as needed.
  • I don't care for a lot of additions, but cilantro is one I like. Avocados are too subtle, so adding too many other ingredients obscures its wonderful, nutty flavor.
  • Also consider black olives, tomatoes (de-seeded and diced) or jalapenos.
  • Serve with chips and home-made salsa, or add to any sw or Mexican dish.

THE BEST EVER GUACAMOLE



The Best Ever Guacamole image

This is the tastiest Guacamole. Simple, yet delicious. I was told that this recipe lets the avacado taste shine, some recipes add several spices....cumin, chili powder, etc. I was hesitant, (to make such a bland sounding recipe) but gave it a try. It really is delicious. Use avacados that yield to gentle pressure....not too soft.

The real trick to great guacamole is to use good avocados. Make sure your avocados are ripe and of the Haas variety! Serve this dip with corn chips, or an array of fresh vegetables.
