Need a good guacamole recipe...

[ljcoolj]

Anyone have a quick, easy guac recipe?

[Conscious Midwife]

I like mine chunky so I seldom use a food processor unless I'm making a batch with more than 6 avacados.

Roll avacados on counter applying pressure with hand until soften (10-15 seconds)
Slice and scoop with spoon
Pile on Yeast flakes, cracked red pepper, hand dice white onion, cilantro (dried or fresh), garlic (pressed cloves, miced or dried powder), diced roma tomatoes (optional)

Mash together with fork then stir all together again.

and eat :p

If prepping for later add a few squeezes of lemon

When using all dried ingredients I can do this in less than three minutes for a single serve. A few minutes extra when dicing onions and tomatoes

I also prefere preparing on site when taking to a potluck. Usually put all add ins together in a bowl, mix and carry avacados still in skin/peel/shell :confused: , seperate. Then slice with spoon, scoop mash and mix on site. Again yummy!

My old standby:

2 avocadoes
1/4 or so red or sweet onion, diced
1/2 lime, juiced
pinch of Celtic salt, or to taste
3 tbs chopped cilantro

for spiciness:
2-3 tablespoons fresh salsa -or-
1/2 jalepeno, minced -or-
1 teaspoon chili powder

Or all 3 if you like a lot of heat.

Mash.

Lime juice!

I love mashed avocado with lime juice.
For salt I either use some chunky himalayan salt or dulse.
For heat I'll use cayenne or minced jalapeno (preferrably the latter)

For me that's good enough when I'm hurrying. Otherwise, like lifeAgift, I'll add some other stuff, and mash it with a fork or something, all or any of:
chopped tomato
minced red onion
chopped cilantro, chives, basil or mint

Sometimes I add dried black olives chopped up too. My fav addition is the fresh herbs...

I'm a purist - mash the avocado, sprinkle with a little garlic salt, eat!

I like:

1 avocado
a pinch of celtic sea salt
squeeze of lime
chopped cilantro

I put it all in the processor for a little bit.

I like:

1 avocado
a pinch of celtic sea salt
squeeze of lime
chopped cilantro
chopped tomato
chili powder

I put it all in the processor for a little bit.

I use the same ingredients, but I sub fresh chilli for the powder and I just mash the avocado and put everything else in and stir. Oh, and finely chopped red onion. I never use measurements though, just mix till I think it's ok. I like it chunky too.

I just mash avocado, chop some tomato, squeeze some lemon and sprinkle some cumin! Voila! Simple and yummy guacamole :)
