Deanna’s Recipe of the Week #1 - Chorlton Guacomole
Posted By Deanna Thomas On 30th April 2007 @ 16:09 In Food, North Star Recipes | 2 Comments
Here's a little feature that we're hoping will become a regular posting here on the North Star site. Keep checking back (or simply subscribe to our blog feed) to keep up to date with all my recipes.
With the unseasonably warm weather, I'm sure some of you will have started barbequeing. Here is a recipe for Guacamole which originally came from Adam but which I took the liberty of improving a little.
Incidentally, we would love to sell this in the deli counter but avocadoes have a nasty habit of turning black when exposed to the air and serving up food choc-full of preservatives isn't really our mission. Mind you, this guacamole is so tasty and moorish, I bet it wouldn't last more than hour in the counter before it was sold out!
Serves 2 (easily doubled or tripled etc)
1 ripe avocado, roughly chopped
1 clove of garlic, chopped
1 spring onion, chopped
a small handful of coriander, chopped
the juice of half a lime
1 red chilli, chopped (seeds taken out)
Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
If you don't have a blender, you could make this into a more chunky salsa by chopping everything more finely and mixing it all together. Serve with raw vegetables, tortilla chips or warm pitta bread.... and remember to share it with everyone else.
If you're hooked on Guacamole, you can find a bunch of other fabulous recipes over at [1] www.avocado.org.
