Its aptly said "Better late than never"..............Inspired by this proverb I thought of sending a Mexican side-dish for the A.W.E.D. event by DK of DK's Culinary Bazaar.Mexican food is so yummy,I think everybody likes it. When Mexican food is described, one recipe is definately there. Can u guess??? Look and the picture and you will know it for sure :)
By looking at the picture you must have guessed the recipe I m talking about....yes you are right,its Guacamole. Guacamole is an Avacado based dip which is relished by one and all. First time I had guacamole in Chipotle's Burrito bowl......it was sooooooo delicious. I liked it so much that I thought of making it at home,and it turned out to be exactly same as we get it in any Mexican restaurant.Frankly speaking I liked it better than that!!!!! For making a tasty Guacamole,use ripe Hass avacados.
Ingredients- Avocados 2 (small and ripe)
- Red onion 1/2 (finely chopped)
- Serrano pepper 1 (stem and seeds removed,finely chopped)
- Cilantro 1/2 cup (finely chopped)
- Fresh lime juice 1tbsp
- (it adds to the taste as well as prevents browning of guacamole.)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper 1 tsp
- Tomato 1 small (seeds removed and finely chopped)
- *Adding a little cheese or cream adds to the taste.
- Cut the avocados into half and remove the seed.
- Scoop out the pulp and take it in a mixing bowl.
- Mash the avacado either with a fork or a spoon. Add the chopped onion,Serrano pepper, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper and mash some more. Mix well.
- Cover with plastic wrap to prevent oxidation. Keep it for sometime at room temperature or refrigerate it if you want to eat later.
- Add the chopped tomato just before serving the guacamole.
- Serve with tortilla chips.
Note : Be careful while handling the peppers, wash your hands thoroughly after cutting them. Serves 2-4
