One of life's obsessions: the avocado. People (myself included) are crazy for these things and there's so much to do with them, however I think the winning avocado recipe is guacamole. There are many different ways to make guacamole, some people put sour cream in their's while other's use mayonnaise. I tend to keep it quite simple so that the only special ingredient you need is the avocado itself. For this post I've included two different recipes because I switch between the two myself.
Recipe No.1- this involves less ingredients but packs a strong garlicky punch.
Ingredients: 1 avocado
- 1 medium clove of garlic
- chilli oil
- salt
- pepper
Method: Start by spooning the avocado into a bowl and smash with a fork.
-Add the chilli oil (not too much to start) to loosen the avocado and smash until creamy.
- Really finely chop the garlic clove, as small as possible and mix in.
- Give a good pinch of salt and a crack of pepper and adjust to taste.
That's it for this recipe and I would say my favorite way to eat it is on toast with a few chipotle chilli flakes dropped on top.
Recipe No.2- This involves a little more than the regular house hold ingredients but it's super delicious.
Ingredients: 1 avocado
- half a lemon
- a quarter of a red onion
- a handful of fresh coriander
- smoked chipotle tobasco
- salt
- pepper
- olive oil
method: start by spooning the avocado into a bowl and smash with a fork.
- Add the olive oil to loosen it and make it creamy.
- chop the onion and coriander as finely as you want it (I like the onion quite fine) and put in the mix.
- Squeeze in the lemon juice.
- add a couple dashes of the tobasco
- give a generous pinch of salt and a crack of pepper and adjust to taste.
I would say this guacamole goes particularly well with bigger meals like nachos, burgers or as a topping to sweet potato fries.
So those are my two recipes for guacamole. I think it's absolutely delicious and love how versatile it can be. Stick it on some toast with a poached egg, whack it in a sandwich or simply have it as a dip. Remember it's good fat as well so you don't even have to feel guilty about eating it.
