First wedding recipe! We were having fajitas, and love love love them with guacamole, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to try out one of the recipes that Isabelle contributed to my wedding cookbook.
Ingredients:
3 avocados, halved, seeded and peeled*
1 lime, juiced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 medium red onion, diced
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced*
1 tbsp chopped cilantro*
1 clove garlic, minced
{Note. Because it was only for SB and me, I only added 2 avocados and 1 tomato. Unfortunately, the grocery store did not have fresh cilantro, so I did not add it to the guacamole. Next time!}.
1. First I cut up the avocado, and removed the pit.
2. I then mashed the avocados in a medium bowl, until it was fairly smooth (thank you for the tip about the potato masher - much easier than a fork!).
3. I then added the salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne, and mashed them up again.
4. I then folded in the tomatoes, onions, and garlic (here you would add the cilantro)...
5. ... and added the lime juice.
6. We ate it right away, but it if you are going to serve it on it's own, refrigerate it for a few hours in order for it to cool.
This guacamole was absolutely delicious. Both SB and I loved it. The tomatoes are such a great idea, as they add a bit of freshness to it, and the mix of the other flavours was great. Thank you very much, Isabelle, for this great recipe! I can't wait to make it again.
