how do you make guacamole?

Question

its a spicey mexican dip i think

Answer 1

2 ripe avocados
½ red onion, minced (about 1/2 cup)
1-2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of fresh lime or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
A dash of freshly grated black pepper
1/2 ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed, chopped

Garnish with red radishes or jicama. Serve with tortilla chips.

1 Cut avocados in half. Remove seed. Scoop out avacado from the peel, put in a mixing bowl. (See How to Cut and Peel an Avocado.)

2 Using a fork, mash the avocado. Add the chopped onion, cilantro, lime or lemon, salt and pepper and mash some more. Chili peppers vary individually in their hotness. So, start with a half of one chili pepper and add to the guacamole to your desired degree of hotness. Be careful handling the peppers; wash your hands thoroughly after handling and do not touch your eyes or the area near your eyes with your hands for several hours.

Keep the tomatoes separate until ready to serve.

Remember that much of this is done to taste because of the variability in the fresh ingredients. Start with this recipe and adjust to your taste.

3 Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation from the air reaching it. Refrigerate until ready.

4 Just before serving, add the chopped tomato to the guacamole and mix.

Serves 2-4.

Variations

For a very quick "guac" just take a 1/4 cup of salsa and mix it in with your mashed avocados.

You don't need to have tomatoes in your guacamole.

Answer 3

Guacamole
Serves 4

2 avocados
1 fresh green chilli deseeded and finely chopped.
2 fresh red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped.
4 spring onions, finely chopped.
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling.
Juice of 1 lime.
Fresh coriander leaves, to garnish
Tortilla chips, to serve.
You can also serve this fiery dip with vegetable sticks or spoon it over grilled steak or chops.
1 Halve the avocados and remove the stone. Using a spoon scoop the flesh into a blow
and mash with a fork to soft, chunky consistency.
2 Stir the chillies, garlic, spring onions, olive oil and lime juice into the mashed avocados
and season to taste with salt. If you prefer a smooth dip, place the avocados flesh,
chillies, garlic, spring onions, olive oil and lime juice in to a food processor or blender and process to a puree.
3 Spoon the guacamole into a serving bowl and drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top.
Sprinkle with chopped coriander leaves.
4 If you are not serving the guacamole immediately, cover the bowl tightly with clingfilm to prevent discolouration. And store in refrigerator for no longer then 2 hours. I always put one of the stones in the middle.
Serve with tortilla chips.

Answer 4

3 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup diced onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)

Mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Stir in remaining ingredients. Chill for at least an hour before serving if possible. (I usually can't wait that long though!) Also, sometimes I mash 2 of the avocados and dice one up so it's chunkier.

Answer 5

Since the salsa is spicy - I prefer to make the guacamole totally mild.

Mash the avocado with some chopped garlic and a little bit of olive oil - that's it.

Answer 6

guacamole,can be made in a number of different ways. the original way is a combination of avocadoes,garlic(crushed), red birds eye chilli's,corn oil or olive oil, lime juice and, salt and pepper. you have do this in the combination that suits your taste, remember this! that chilli's are hot, painfull and must be handdled with care, make sure you wash your hands well! if you want a better consistancy and fridge life add mayo instead of oil. good luck. p.s if your guac is turning black, you have not added enough lime juice.

Answer 7

Answer 8

mashed avocado, lime juice, and a few tablespoons of salsa. I use the food process to mash the avocado, then stir in the lime juice and salsa by hand. YUM! goes great with Mexican food or just tortilla chips for a snack.

Answer 9

Slit the avocado, spoon all the green into a bowl, chop up onion, tomato, add a squeeze of lemon or lime salt and pepper to taste and mash.. If you prefer it spicy add some chopped hot pepper to it. I fry bacon and crumble into mine also.
If it will be sitting, put the pit in it to jelp it from turning brown.
