My friends Cat and Dan brought some pretty epic homemade guacamole to a party this weekend. They also told me how they read this blog together, so when I invited them to guest blog* about it they were pretty stoked. So without further ado, take it away, Cat and Dan!
Thanks Amy! We are so excited to be featured in your rockin’
blog, even though we are only vegetarians (plus, we’ll do anything to become
internet famous.)
We always like to have guacamole in the house – it’s almost
like a comfort food for us at this point, it’s creamy and full of healthy fats
(thanks avocado! or as we like to call it “avarcardarp”) and piling it on a
salty tortilla chip just makes us happy.
Plus, it’s so easy to make at home! Our recipe’s
not-so-secret ingredient is radish. The amounts of each of the ingredients
below are to our tastes, but if, say, you love some spice, feel free to add
more jalapeno! This recipe can be easily tailored to your specific tastes.
Ingredients
(to make a whole heapful that serves probably around 8-10 at a party of people
with relative self-control)
- 4
avocadoes, halved with the pits removed*
- Juice
from one lime
- 2
large garlic cloves, minced
- 2
large radishes, minced
- 2
jalapenos, seeded and minced
- 2
medium tomatoes, chopped
- ½
yellow onion, chopped
- 2
tbsp cilantro, chopped (Fact: Dan hates cilantro so Cat makes him chop it up
for the guac)
- 3
tsp kosher salt
- 1
tsp cumin
* Keep the pits
if you don’t intend to eat the guacamole all at once (not that we’ve done
that…), plop one in the guac when you store it to help keep it fresh!
One you’ve chopped, minced and juiced as described above,
basically all you have to do is mush it all together in a bowl!
- Place
the avocado innards into a bowl and cover with lime juice, mash together using
a fork or other such implement.
- Add
in the minced garlic, jalapeno and radishes, along with the chopped onion,
cilantro and tomatoes.
- Toss
in the salt and cumin.
- Use
a fork to mix the ingredients to your desired texture.
- Let
the whole mixture sit for about one hour at room temperature.
- EAT!
