I decided to take something non-traditional to our feast
I started chopping onions....the recipe calls for 5 tablespoons, but I didn't measure...
A can of chopped chilies, drained
The juice of one small lime. Well...this said 3 tablespoons but how do you get exactly that, and what do you do with any left over? Would you really cut a second lime if you were a little short? I suppose I could handle lime juice the same way I do garlic...again...why measure?
Do you know what I am making?
The recipe calls for a clove of garlic minced.
I don't mince words. I don't mince garlic.
So. A teaspoon of garlic from a jar in the fridge
In a big bowl
Two avocados cut small, then mashed.
Mix all the stuff above in
Add freshly ground pepper, about 1/2 teaspoon, but really to taste
And then sea salt...I like a good amount...but you can use less if you have salty chips.
This is some awesome Guacamole...great with that pre dinner sitting around with a drink in your hand, at Fourth of July parties, birthday celebrations and, yes, Thanksgiving.
Enjoy!
We're big guacamole fans and make it a little different every time depending on what is on hand. Your recipe sounds delicious.

Thanks. It was too. I think the garlic is the key.
ReplyDeleteI have to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have barely ever bought avocados and am just getting into them...I like 'em.
That's my friend, Darla up there ;)
