Guacamole is one of my favorite things to cook in my kitchen, for several reasons. First of all, guacamole is extremely delicious. Furthermore, guacamole is easy to make, fun to make and also a great dip, useable in many different situations and dishes. The guacamole comes from Mexico, where the Aztecs enjoyed it for its high vitamins and fat content, which mostly comes from the avocado. Actually, guacamole is Aztec for “avocado sauce”. Main ingredients are avocado, lime and salt. Many people enjoys adding tomatoes to their guacamole, I don’t.

Most of the time, I eat guacamole in tortillas, where it is very loveable, but it is also great as a dip to carrots, cucumbers, celery and other vegetables.

The guacamole recipe:

• 4 avocados
• 1-2 lime fruits
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 handful of fresh coriander
• Salt
• Olive oil

See video on how to make guacamole here…

Start by peeling the avocados and cut them into smaller bits. The easiest way to do this is to actually cut the avocado before you peel it, as shown below:

Put the avocado into a bowl and add some olive oil and salt. Blend the avocados with a stick blender, if you have one. Otherwise you can use a normal blender, or if you are really patience, you can mash them with a fork or something.

Now, squeeze the limes over the avocado puree you just made, and add the chopped garlic and fresh coriander.

Now you just need to taste the guacamole with some salt, and maybe some more coriander or lime juice. You guacamole is done!

Other things you can add to you guacamole are tomatoes, onions, coarse pepper or a little bit of milk/coconut milk. I never add this stuff, but you can if you want to.

Enjoy!
