Post by: GtoRA2 on March 21, 2005, 08:57:39 PM: I start with just barely ripe avacadoes.

I add chopped garlic.
Garlic salt, (just a dash)
Chili powder.
Fresh ground pepper.
Johnnie seasoning(season salt but better.
A touch of cummin.

My is a bit bland but the GF likes it.

Post by: Jackal1 on March 21, 2005, 09:12:05 PM: Well I differ in that I only use ripe...very ripe avacados. I find the softer, the better.
A touch of mayo.
Salt.
Pepper.
Garlic to taste.
Then the kicker that either makes or breaks the guac in my opinion ------> fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Post by: Nash on March 21, 2005, 09:14:41 PM: I can't stand avocados myself. Much like tomatoes, I demand that the food I eat at least makes a good faith effort to graduate beyond the larvae stage.

But I don't mind guacamole, and I'll eat tomato soup and ketchup.

I'm torn.

Post by: Rolex on March 21, 2005, 09:21:22 PM: A chef friend of mine who is pretty much an expert on curries, (Thai and Indian) and Mexican food swears that guacamole with any hot spices included is blasphemy.

He says guacamole is a cooling balance to the other spicy foods and too much flavoring should never overpower the cooling effect and flavor of the avacado.

I agree with the chef other than a touch of black pepper...just a touch...a smidgen.

Oh I must protest. While he's right that guacamole may serve in this role, its also true there's nothing more heavenly than a conventional guacamole mixed together with a fiery pico de gallo as a combination dish deluxe. Try that sometime, with fresh-fried corn tortilla chips for a real treat.

Post by: Sabre on March 22, 2005, 09:37:35 AM: Mash an avacodo, then add about 1/4 tsp of lemon or lime juice (prevents guac from turning gray so soon), bit of salt, bit of ground pepper, bit of Lowry's season salt (for color), a good dash of garlic powerder, and about a tablespoon of your favorite salsa. Stir, than add about a third cup of sour cream. Don't add the sour cream without stirring the lemon juice in, or the sour cream could go lumpy on you. Double everything for two avacodos, of course. Sour cream makes guac smoother and richer, plus makes the avacodos go farther.
