Long live to Mexican cuisine! Here is the recipe for guacamole, a really tasty avocado and lime sauce!
You can use it for an aperitif or an appetizer or even to serve with the meat.
It is a rich and versatile sauce that you can enjoy with tacos, nachos and tortillas. In Mexico it is used a lot with red meat dishes. I also ate it with chicken (can it be done?!?) :-) : what a taste!
My favorite combination, the one that enchants me for its simple perfection, is the one with tortillas: a piece of tortilla dipped in sauce and the palate thanks!
Ingredients
- A small onion- A fresh chili (green or red)
- 2 avocados
- A lime
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 30 g of extra virgin olive oil
- 250 g of coppery tomatoes (not overripe)
Let's cook!
Peel a small onion, cut it into pieces and put it in the mixing bowl with a fresh chili pepper cut into pieces. Chop 10 Sec. Speed 7.Cut each avocado in half, remove the kernel and remove the pulp with a spoon.
Put the pulp in the mixing bowl and blend 10 Sec. Speed 5.
Gather with the spatula on the bottom of the mixing bowl and blend again 10 Sec. Speed 5.
Squeeze the lime and pour the juice into the mixing bowl.
Add salt and pepper to taste and 30 g of extra virgin olive oil. Stir 15 Sec. Speed 3.
Wash 250 g of tomatoes, peel them and dice them.
Insert the pieces in the mixing bowl and mix 10 Sec. Speed 2.
Transfer to a bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Tips
The sauce can be kept in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 days.If the avocado isn't ripe ... the sauce doesn't come! To ripen an avocado well, keep it in a warm place for a day or two. When the pulp becomes a little yielding by feeling from the outside (not too much, though!), the avocado is ready.
Instead of lime you can use a small lemon. :-)
