Guacamole

Sauces by iSa

Type: Sauce
Prep Time: 10 - 15 mins 
Cooking Time: 0 mins
Servings: 6 - 8 Portions (depending on portion size)
Ingredients:
  • 4 Ripe Avocados
  • 1/3 Bunch Coriander finely chopped
  • 1 Lemon 
  • 1 Chili finely chopped or 2 sliced JalapeƱos
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Ingredients for variations: Sour cream or cream, Powdered Lemon Tajin (my dear friend Lucia brings it for us from Mexico), Tomato Brunoise.
How to make Guacamole: Peel the avocados and put in the flesh in a bowl (keep 1 or 2 of the pits on the side). Mash the Avos until arriving at an almost homogeneous puree. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon, the coriander, chili and salt and pepper to taste. Try it and see if needs more seasoning. Serve in a bowl and sprinkle some cayenne pepper on top for a more colorful presentation.

Variations: If you like...
...a more creamy Guacamole, stir in a bit of cream or sour cream.
...to use it for dipping nachos, then stir in some small tomato cubes (brunoise).
...to make use of mexican goodies, sprinkle with some Powdered lemon Tajin instead of the Cayenne pepper.


Enjoy as a dip for nachos or pair with any mexican meal, or Latin American for that matter, we all love it!


Love, iSa
