Guacamole (Villa del Arco)

Guacamole (Villa del Arco)

(4 servings)

Ingredients:

1 Clove Garlic, pressed

2 Ripe Avocados

½ Medium White Onion, fine dice

1 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 tbsp. Fresh Lime Juice

To Taste, Salt & Black Pepper

To Taste, Chopped Cilantro

Directions:

Mash the garlic and then the Avocados with a fork before adding the onion, olive oil and lime juice.  Mix all together and add salt and pepper to taste.  Now add the Cilantro and mix again.

Note:               The proper way to make guacamole (according to Chef Saul’s grandmother) is to use a “Molcajete” which is a prehispanic bowl made from volcanic stone.  It adds flavor.  It is not the end of the world if you don’t have one but it makes a great conversation piece.

Note:               You can add Jalapeno or Serrano peppers to give it some heat too.  Use with or without the seeds (your heat threshold) and a fine dice.

Note:               For a little more “Gourmet” guacamole, you can add a little processed Pomegranate or a mixture of sautéed Poblano peppers (small dice) and Pineapple (crushed).
