There are hundreds of recipes for guacamole, and I’ve tried a lot of them.
This one is my absolute favorite. Once it leaves the kitchen, the bowl always comes back empty.
| Ingredients: | ||
| 1/4 | Large Red Onion (or 1 small), very finely minced | |
| 2 | Large | Cloves Garlic |
| 3/4 | Teaspoon | Kosher Salt |
| 3 | Ripe Hass Avocados, cut in half, peeled, and pit removed | |
| 1 | Ripe Plum Tomato, peeled, seeded, and diced. | |
| 1/2 | Medium | Jalapeno Pepper, seeds removed, very finely minced |
- Rinse the onion in cold water, squeeze dry in a towel and place in a large bowl.
- Put garlic clove and salt in a mortar and pestle and grind until it’s a smooth paste and add to bowl
- Add avocados, pepper and tomato.
- Use a fork to mix well, and break up the avocado, keeping the guacamole chunky.
- Taste and add salt, if necessary.
- Cover very closely with plastic wrap (don’t leave any air space between the Guacamole and the wrap) and refrigerate for about an hour to allow the flavors to blend.
Makes about 3 cups
