Authentic Guacamole!
- Number of Servings: 5
Ingredients
3 Haas avocados, ripe and slightly soft 1 medium RIPE tomato, diced1/2 or 1 clove garlic, minced fine 1/2 or 1 medium onion, diced salt to taste1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/4 cup finely minced FRESH cilantro fresh juice of 1 lime1 small jalapeno pepper or a few dashes tabasco sauce
*Remember the high fat in this recipe comes from the avocados which is a healthy fat...
Remove avocado meat and place in a bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until squashed but containing lots of avocado chunks at least thumbnail size. Do NOT over-mash the avocados! Dice the tomatoes to about 1/2 inch pieces. Combine all ingredients, stirring gently
* It is important that one does NOT substitue garlic powder or dried minced onion for the fresh ones called for in the recipe.
*To make good, flavorful guacamole it is very important that you use the blackish, lumpy-skinned Haas avocados such as they grow in California. The large, green, smooth-skinned Florida variety are watery and grainy and have less flavor. Choose slightly soft, black, ripe Haas avocados. Best to buy a couple extra in case there are a few bad spots on the avocados; sometimes a hard or fibrous place develops which you will not want to include in your guacamole.
