Guacamole
Recipe courtesy of The Culinary Institute of America
Serves 12
Ingredients:
- 2 medium avocados
- 1½ tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoon white onion, finely chopped and rinsed
- 1 to 2 serrano chiles, finely chopped
- 1 small tomato, cut into a ¼-inch dice
- Salt to taste
Preparation:
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise all the way to the pit and then twist the two halves apart. Remove the pit by scooping it out with a spoon and then, with the same spoon, scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork to a coarse puree, and then add the lime juice and garlic.
- Stir in the onion, tomato, and chili. Taste and season with salt.
- If not serving immediately, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning and refrigerate, preferably not for more than a few hours.
