The Best Ever Guacamole

- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados (the small bumpy ones, not the large smooth ones)
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 cup yellow onions or 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1⁄8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 fresh lime
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
directions
- Mince the garlic (add more or less to taste).
- Dice the onion (ditto).
- Cut avocado in half and twist to separate. Stab the pit with the long sharp edge of your knife: twist it, and the pit will come right out attached to the knife.
- With a spoon, scoop out contents into a glass bowl.
- Add the garlic and onion.
- Using two knives cross-cut the mixture until it is in smaller chunks, then mash with a fork.
- Squeeze in 1/2 the lime, white pepper and salt. Taste. Add more salt and/or lime as needed.
- I don't care for a lot of additions, but cilantro is one I like. Avocados are too subtle, so adding too many other ingredients obscures its wonderful, nutty flavor.
- Also consider black olives, tomatoes (de-seeded and diced) or jalapenos.
- Serve with chips and home-made salsa, or add to any sw or Mexican dish.

This is a delicious guacamole that lets the avo. flavour predominate. Only negative is that 1 tsp. of salt was too much for us even though we are salt fiends. Also, I would use regular salt in this instance as the kosher was too grainy for this recipe and the regular would have dissipated through the entire quantity. I also added a touch of chipotle for heat and extra flavour.

This is the perfect guacamole for all of us avocado "purists." It's actually even better after chilling a few hours so the garlic really infuses the mixture. The lime juice prevents oxidizing, so it doesn't brown. I added a bit of cilantro. And yes, you're right, it IS addicting! I will make this often; thanx for posting.
