Guacamole

Before I start, I wanted to add a note here about my cooking style.  I don't measure, unless I'm baking.  I throw stuff together and measure by site and taste.  So in the process of writing up these recipes I'm having to commit to rough measurements.  Please don't take these as hard-set, play around with it and figure out what measurements work best for you. 

Now onto-

Guacamole!

This is a simple recipe but by far the most requested so I thought it an appropriate choice for my first post.

For about 2 cups of guacamole you will need-

4 medium/large ripe avocados

1/2 medium tomato, finely chopped

2 Tablespoons onion, finely diced

1/2 lime

1 large garlic clove

1/2 heaping teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Chop the avocados and put into a medium mixing bowl.  The easiest way I've found to do this is to cut the avocado while in the skin (but not through the skin) and use a spoon to go along the inside of the skin and scoop it out.  Using a fork, lightly mash up the avocados.  

 

 

 

 Add the onion and tomatoes and mix.  Grate in the garlic, squeeze in the lime and add salt and pepper.  Mix.

 

Check for seasoning and...

Enjoy!
