Guacamole

So when mum was at the grocery store the other day the produce manager gave her a bunch of avacadoes for free as they were on their last day of 'possible sale'. Concerned with the idea of having to eat so many, we brainstormed with what to do with them all and remembered the birthday meal we were going to prepare. I declared that I would try make guacamole.

I don't like guacamole, but I like cooking, and I know others like the green stuff, so I'd better learn! 

I found the recipe in my low carb cookbook and it seemed pretty easy. Mum did the 'taste testing' and declared it to be the best guacamole she's had.

Guacamole
Need:
4 ripe avacados
3 tablespoons of lime juice
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce
3 mushed garlic cloves
2 tablespoons sweet red onions
salt to taste (we put quite a bit in).

Method:
Pit avo's, mush in a dish with a fork.Add in all other ingredients. Mix a lot!

We chilled it before serving it simply because I made it so early.  People seemed to really like it, so I'll have to make it for 'non-family' sometime to get more feedback. It was super easy, which I like!

  1. Needs tomatoes. Not a whole lot, but just a little bit. I'd make this alongside the salsa you did earlier, and then blaspheme them both by mixing them together before eating! Ah, memories of Mexico...

  2. I wondered about tomatoes but figured I'd follow the recipe exactly the first time. I have a plan or a dream or whatever to make a bunch of these appies and host a party... (and give everyone food poisoning?! =P )

    perhaps I should get that server from mexico up to make sure everyone has a good time?

  3. That was not a good time, if you'll recall... Wait: None of us recall anything thanks to Ernesto. Blech.

    Try sun-dried tomatoes as they'll be less likely to water the guacamole down.
