Life of the Party
From travel to advertising and now to cooking. This blog can't settle on anything.
There's a friend of mine (well actually a few) who asks for cooking advice on occasion so I've decided to write down all my easy, delicious recipes here so he and others can bring these scrumptious treats into their own homes.
So let's talk guacamole...
Guacamole is fantastic with chips or on a sandwich, chunky or smooth, basic or spicy. I find that the chunky kind is better with chips while the spicy, smooth kind is better on a sandwich. One sandwich option that I (used to) love is guacamole with fillet on ciabatta or french bread.
Here's a recipe for great guacamole which I adapted from one on Epicurious.com.
Ingredients
Epicurious says "The guacamole may be made 2 hours in advance, its surface covered with plastic wrap, and chilled."
The lime juice helps preserve that lovely green color. You can also use vitamin C crystals, which is what I do. You can use any type of tomato. I just like cherry tomatoes because they are so sweet. Another addition you can make is minced jalapeño. Be careful not to add too much!!! Add 1/4 - 1/2 a jalapeño and then taste your creation. Add more as need be.
Enjoy!
