Guacamole Recipe – Easy Guacamole Dip Recipe

November 24, 2015 16 Comments

I love avocados. Guacamole is something that regularly gets made as a sandwich spread for TH to take to work. In fact, I don’t even think I have tried an avocado smoothie at home before, although I have tried some delicious ones all over Singapore. Update: I fixed this. Check out my super delicious avocado milkshake recipe here.

Last weekend, uncharacteristically, I made these for brunch on Saturday and the lighting was just perfect for some shots for the blog. I add an Indian touch to my guacamole recipe quite a bit by using Indian green chillies and shallots in it. The flavour is amazing and we love it with some toasted bread! You can also serve freshly made guacamole as a dip for baby carrots, celery, pita chips, or corn chips. I also love to add some crushed boiled egg to this and make a sandwich out of the filling. Check out my avocado egg salad sandwich recipe here. I also make these avocado chocolate cupcakes that turn out delicious and are vegan (eggless).

Guacamole Recipe
Serves 2 / Fills 4 Sandwiches

Ingredients:
1 ripe* avocado
2 shallots
1 Indian green chilli (or a chopped jalapeno)
Half a tomato, deseeded and chopped fine
Juice of half a lemon or 1/4 of a lime
Chopped fresh coriander leaves (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Draw a knife deep into the avocado all around it, length-wise. Gently twist it around until the two halves fall apart and the seed is exposed. Remove seed, scoop out the green flesh with a spoon and place in a bowl. Mash well with a fork.

2. Grind the shallots and green chillies in a pestle and mortar (for best taste) or in a small grinder until roughly mixed.

3. Mix with the shallot-chilli paste along with all other ingredients with the avocado. Taste-test to adjust the sourness, saltiness and spice level. I usually adjust the amount of lime and salt to make it just right. It largely depends on personal taste.

4. Serve with tortilla chips, toasted bread wedges, rolled into a chapati, as you wish!

Notes

– to check if an avocado is right, press lightly near where the shoot end is see if its soft. If its hard there, its definitely not ready for use yet. Another trick is to hold it in your palm and see if it yields to squeezing.

– to make the avocados ripen faster, leave in a brown paper bag and don’t refrigerate.

– to prevent browning, the lime juice will help. Some swear by leaving the seed in with the chopped avocados but I haven’t tried this yet.

Enjoy this buttery, yummy fruit. Its high in Mono-Unsaturated Fats and apparently helps you lose weight if taken in moderation πŸ™‚

    Every year, at this time of the year, I think about changing my eating habits and incorporating more nutritious food into my diet. But with the end of Christmas and the beginning of a new year, my resolution also ends. Your recipe is motivating me to stick to my healthy diet resolution. Cool…you are a genius…
