guacamole is really very simple to make , but gets complex when choosing the heat desired, basic recipe are, onion,garlic,tomato,cilantro,s... and most imprtant is LIME-JUICE.. as far as peppers it's your choice of jalapeno ( most popular !) or the serrano which has a very simular taste but somewhat milder ! if you want a burning but pleasant heat then go w/the habanero ! anway all ingridients finely chopped and the avocado's smashed not mashed leave some texture in the mix .AS FAR AS CHOOSING BY COLOR
THE AVOCADO SHOULD BE FIRM AND GIVE A LITTLE WHEN SQUEEZED -COLORS VARY DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF FRUIT SOLD IN YOUR AREA ! DON'T FORGET TO SEASON WITH SALT --ONLY-NO PEPPER !!
I'M TELLIN U THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!(for me)...the simpler, the better tasting...Avocado should give to the touch. Be a little soft. Maybe kinda dark green....I take 1 ripe avocado, juice of half a lime, a couple dashes of texas pete or tabasco, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to take. more salt than pepper. Half the avocado and take out seed. Scoop out flesh with a big ol spoon and put into a bowl. Add lime juice, texas pete, garlic, and s&p. Mix til u get the consistancy you want. YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY. Try it I dare ya:-)
Try this Caribbean take on Guacamole. Avocados grow abundantly on our islands. Season the guacamole to suit your own taste but citrus juice is a must. It keeps the avocado from discolouring.
2 large avocados
2-3 tbsp.lemon or lime juice
1/2 tsp. tabasco or pepper sauce
2 tbsp. minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tomato chopped fine (optional)
salt to taste
tomato wedges for garnishing
Cut avocados in half and scoop out pulp with a spoon. Mash pulp coarsely with a fork while blending in lemon or lime juice.
Add other ingredients to mixture and taste (check for salt)
Garnish with tomato wedges. Serve as a dip with crackers, chips etc or make a sandwich.
Seems like the avocado you bought was indeed bad. On the islands we get various shades of green but they should be firm to the touch and not too hard when they are ready to be used.
