I made guacamole! I was inspired by this post over at Lindsay’s blog, and the fact that I had two rapidly softening avocado’s gazing at me accusatorily with from the kitchen vegetable bowl.So, despite Friday night being incredibly busy, I used them to make this delicious guacamole, multitasking between making cookies, making brownies, making dinner and making guacamole! Oh and then I realised I didn’t have any tortilla chips with which to eat said guacamole, so I made some of my own!
Here’s what I used
- 2 ripe avocados
- one third of a medium red onion finely chopped
- one quarter of a red pepper finely chopped
- handful of coriander
- the juice of one lime
- 1 tsp garlic puree
- half a teaspoon cumin
- half a teaspoon curry powder
First I scooped the avocado out of its shell into a large bowl and mashed/forked it around a bit!
Then I added the lime, garlic, cumin and curry powder before chopping up the pepper and onion and adding those. A mezzeluna is really handy for getting them chopped really finely!
And extremely delicious!
Here’s how I made the tortilla chips to go with them! I made these using wholemeal tortillas which accounts for the wholemeal colour of them. I simply cut them up into triangular-ish shapes, and then baked them for a few minutes in a medium oven (keeping an eagle eye on them). When I make them again (and I’m sure I will as we always have tortillas around) I’ll use a non stick cooking spray and sprinkle a little salt on them too.
Finally, as well as eating the guacamole with chips, I also used some to make this guacamole veggie burger! Yum
You know if you bake a bulb of garlic in the oven for an hour on about 180 you can make your own garlic puree (once baked, squeeze out the cloves and there you go, no preservatives or anything – pure garlic) and it will give the guacamole a great kick.
Thanks! Great tip!
mmmm mmmmmm that looks good C=:-)
