Denises Guacamole Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Stir in cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately.

Steps:

• Peel and mash avocados in a medium serving bowl. Stir in onion, garlic, tomato, lime juice, salt and pepper. Season with remaining lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Chill for half an hour to blend flavors.

Steps:

• Cut around each avocado lengthwise, then twist the two halves apart. Remove the pit and scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocados (preferably with an old-fashioned potato masher) into a coarse purée. Season the purée with salt, about 1 teaspoon. Mince the clove of garlic. Sprinkle the minced garlic with a little salt, and mash with the side of your knife into coarse paste.
• Fold in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
• Mince the green chile and add the desired amount to the bowl. Chop the tomato and add to the bowl. Mince the onion (you should have about a third of a cup) and rinse under cold running water in a small mesh strainer. Shake off the excess water, and mix into the avocado.
• If you aren't serving the guacamole immediately, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate. For best results, make the guacamole within 2 hours of serving and serve in batches.

Steps:

• Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
• Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the onion, tomato, chilli and most of the coriander until finely chopped (or you can do this by hand), then transfer to a bowl.
• Roll the lime over the work surface with some pressure to help juicing, then cut in half, juice it and add to the mix.
• Now cut your avocados in half, remove the stone and scoop out the creamy flesh with a spoon, making sure you get all the lovely bright green bit close to the skin.
• With clean hands squash the avocado to a pulp to make it super creamy. Leave a few of the chunks for a bit of texture. Mix through the blitzed veg and some seasoning. Serve immediately with a drizzle of good olive oil over the top and some more coriander.

Steps:

• Finely chop the red onion, tomatoes, coriander and jalapeños separately. Mix together the onion, tomatoes, coriander and a pinch of salt. Keep the jalapeños to one side.
• Scoop all the avocado flesh into a bowl and crush with a fork, leaving it chunky - it should not be puréed. Add the lime juice and onion mixture, combining gently.
• Add jalapeños, to taste, and more sea salt if needed. Serve with the tortilla chips.
