GUACAMOLE
I like my guacamole to have a spicy bite to it. Made like this, it will be spicy, but not super hot. Add more jalapenos if you like it hotter, use fewer if you don't like as much spice. Even if you're a wiener about spice, at least use ½ of a jalapeno for flavor.
This serves two hungry people, so double the recipe for 4, etc.
Ingredients
3 medium, very ripe (soft and dark green/black) avocados
1/8 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (use real limes, not the shit from the jar…usually takes 3-4 limes to get 1/8 cu)
¼ cup fresh, finely chopped cilantro
2 medium shallots, very finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic paste
3 medium jalapeno peppers, seeds & stems removed, very finely chopped
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
corn tortilla chips
To Make...
1. Halve each avocado, remove its pit and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
2. Pour the lime juice over the avocado.
3. Using a fork or spoon, mash the avocado, leaving it slightly chunky.
4. Stir in the cilantro, shallot, garlic paste, jalapeno and salt and stir well to mix.
5. taste at this point. If too spicy or salty, cut another avocado and add in. More likely, you may need to add a very little more salt or another minced pepper.
6. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving.
