Holy Guacamole! Super Snack for Super Bowl!
It's hard to believe something so delish is a healthy (gasp!) Super Bowl snack isn't it?! And there are oodles of recipe variations. Over the years I've tinkered around and come up with my family's top two. I hope you'll enjoy them as well! Guacamole You'll need: molcajete* or large bowl 3 ripe avocados ( they're perfectly ripe when they feel slightly soft when pressed. If they're hard let them ripen on your kitchen counter a few days before using them) 1 clove garlic about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. ground cumin, or to taste juice of 2 limes (we like lots of lime, you may want to use less) sea salt, to taste *A molcajete - what's that? If you're unfamiliar with a molcajete, it's basically a large mortar and pestle (Williams-Sonoma and Crate and Barrel carry them). It will give you the best results, but a bowl and a potato masher will do the trick too. Wash avocados, and slice in half lengthwise all around. Twist halves to separate, and remove the pit (an easy way to do this is whack the pit with a large knife, pull it out and remove it from the blade). The easiest way to get all of the inside pulp out cleanly is to slice each half into about 3 or 4 sections, then you can peel the skin right off. If you're using a molcajete: grind the clove of garlic with the pestle first. I also like to add a dash of cumin and grind it along with the garlic at this point for a little extra flavor. If using a bowl, mince the garlic first, then add it to the bowl. Next, add 1 avocado at a time (about 8 slices of avocado), and smash. Now, add the lime juice, cumin, and sea salt, mixing lightly with a spoon or spatula. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Serve in the molcajete or a bowl along with your favorite tortilla chips and enjoy! Serves about 3-4 Spicy Guacamole If you like your guac with a little more kick, you'll enjoy this version: You'll need: Molcajete* or bowl 3 ripe avocados 1 clove garlic 1 Tablespoon red onion or sweet vidalia onion, chopped half of jalapeno pepper (more if you like it hotter), diced 1/4 cup cilantro 1 plum tomato, diced (optional) 1/4-1/2 tsp. ground cumin, to taste juice of 2 limes sea salt, to taste Thoroughly wash avocados, and slice in half lengthwise all around. Separate halves and remove the pit (see tip for removing pit above). Slice each half into 3 or 4 sections and remove skin. Next, grind the garlic clove, onion and cilantro together in the molcajete. You can also add a dash of cumin at this point as well. If you're using a bowl, chop the cilantro, and mince garlic before adding it to the bowl. Next, add the avocado, one at a time (about 8 slices), and smash. Add lime juice, cumin, sea salt, and diced tomato (optional), and mix lightly with a spoon or spatula. Taste, and add more salt if necessary. Serve in molcajete or a bowl along with your favorite tortilla chips and enjoy! Serves about 4.   related searches : Holy
