Guacamole

Made with Avocados .. this recipe is so simple and made in minutes. 






Ingredients:

  • Avocados --2
  • Onion -- 1 (I used 3 small shallots)
  • Tomato -- 1
  • Salt and pepper
  • A bunch of coriander leaves
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Garlic cloves -- 2-3


 Recipe:

  • Cut the avocado length-wise. Twist it and remove the stone.

  • Scoop out the avocado pulp with a spoon.

  • Mash it well. Chop the other ingredients finely.

  • Add everything to the mashed avocados. Squeeze lemon juice. Add salt and pepper. That's it. Guacamole is ready...:) 
  • How do I use it ?  ....as a side to parathas(flat-bread), sandwich spread, dip and the obvious Mexican side.......!!!


Dip:


Sandwich spread:


Quick-fix corn and guacamole quesadilla:



Quantity:

  • About 1 and 1/2 cups

Notes:

  • Choose ripe avocados. Press the skin, if you can push it a little it is ripe, otherwise leave it for one or two days till it ripens.
  • You can add fresh green chilies to make it a bit spicy.
