This is my base guacamole recipe...
5 ripe avocados
2 clove garlic, pressed
2 tsp ground cumin
2 ripe medium Roma tomato, chopped
½ Cup minced onion
¼ Cup chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
And here's how I do it...
Split the avocado, cutting and twisting them apart.
Did I just cut through that seed?
The easiest way to remove the seed is to just give it a good thump sinking your blade deep into it. Then twist and the seed will pop out. Keep in mind you don't want to miss on this step and take off a finger...
Next, scoop out the avocado skins and mash the flesh in a bowl.
After pressing in the garlic and adding the cumin, juice a lime. I usually only do one lime, it'll typically give you + - 2 Tbsp of juice.
Also add your onion. Today I grated my onion instead of chopping or dicing it.
And don't forget the tomato. They're always nice.
Taste it!
Then season. Usually a 3-4 second pour with the salt shaker, and about 80 cranks on the pepper mill for me.
And if you notice... I have no Cilantro! Crap.
Brb, I'm off to the store...
Lookie Lookie what they had at the store.
