Mouth watering GUACAMOLE!

Guacamole has quickly become one of my family’s favorite appetizers. They insist mine is the best they’ve had. My secret weapon- A mortar and pestle.

You will need

  • 3-4 avocados
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-3 scallions, diced (any type of onion will work)
  • 1 jalapeno or cayenne pepper, minced.
  • ¼ cup fresh Cilantro, minced.
  • 1 medium tomato, cored, chopped
  • Lime Juice- start with juice from half of the lime. Add to taste from that point.
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • Sea Salt to taste
  • Peel and mash avocados.

Add garlic, jalapeño, onion, cilantro in a mortar. Season with salt and mash with a pestle or until a coarse paste forms.

Mix paste with mashed avocado. Add lime juice and fold in tomatoes.  Season to taste with salt, pepper & additional lime juice. Serve with tortilla chips or vegetables.

Enjoy!
