FOOD PORN: My Guacamole Recipe!

So today I'm sharing with you my guacamole recipe. I used to HATE guacamole when I was younger, but now it's one of my favourite spreads/dips ever. It basically combines all my favourite things into one chunky ass dish.

Now before people start getting all technical on my ass, can we please note that I am in no way saying this is the AUTHENTIC way to make guacamole.

I was raised Jewish and the only thing we spread on shit was white fish salad, so just keep that in mind when you read this. 

~ONWARD~

So for this recipe you will need: 

• two avocados
• a jalapeño pepper
• a quarter of a red pepper (you can use tomatoes, I just prefer red peppers)
• half cup of red onion
• two limes (juiced)
• pepper and a decent amount of salt (I love salty guacamole)
• and about a half cup of cilantro (my favourite thing ever)

First you want to scoop out your avocados and place them in a bowl. Don't make the same mistake I did by using a pretty small bowl. It'll only make your life harder when you're trying to mash all this stuff together. 

Next you want to chop up the jalapeño. I don't put any of the seeds in here, but if you prefer your guacamole a little bit spicy, you can always leave those in.

Then add your red pepper (or tomato) and onions to the mix. 

Now I picked up this trick from Iron Chef America (which honestly why the fuck am I not on there yet?). To squeeze a lime without getting a hernia or having to buy something fancy, just take a pair of tongs and use those. It works really well! 

Then add your salt and pepper! You can honestly use however much you like. 

Now mash this shit all together. I recently invested in a cheap little potato masher and found that it works really nicely for guacamole. If you don't have that kind of class, you can always use a fork. 

Lastly I chop up a decent amount of cilantro and then fold that gently into the guacamole with a spoon. 

And there you have it! 

Let me know if you try this out!
