I know – you are used to seeing sweet stuff on here. But I am also able to make other, more savory things ;) Burger, sandwiches and other hearty snacks. Especially the recipes that can be done quickly are my favorites. Like this Guacamole along with some taco chips and a beer ;)
I know – avocados are a “no-go” for some people, cause growing them in large amounts can cause problems. Avocados like hot weather. That means you need a lot of water to keep them happy. In countries with a hot and dry climate, the cultivation of avocados can cause a sinking groundwater level. Avocados are popular right now, so some farmers are willing to ignore this problem. I don’t want to tell you what’s right or wrong, but if you haven’t known this – you know now ;) Make your own decisions regarding the usage of avocados.
Back to the guacamole. It’s really good. Unfortunately, I probably have to say now ;) It’s not a “classic” guacamole, but almost. The original one has no tomato or chili, but these two additional ingredients are quite common now, so it’s an “almost” classic guacamole ;)
You can eat it with some tortilla chips or you can use it in other dishes as a side or maybe to fill something – grilled sandwiches or wraps for example. Maaaaybe I got some recipes for that in the very near future too ;)
You should prepare your guacamole right before you want to serve it. Unfortunately, avocados have a tendency to brown when sitting on the table for some time. It’s a chemical process you can slow down but hardly prevent completely. The guacamole does turn bad when getting darker, but… not as pretty. That’s all ;)

(2 servings)
1 small red onion
1-2 garlic cloves
2-3 stems of cilantro (or parsley)
1 medium tomato

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Dice the onion and garlic cloves finely, chop the cilantro (or parsley) and add all together with some salt to a mortar and crush until you get a nice paste (some larger pieces are ok). Set aside.
2. Wash the tomato, half and remove the watery insides – cut into dices. Remove the stone of the avocado and add the insides of the avocado to a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth.

1. Die Zwiebeln und Knoblauchzehe(n) fein würfeln, Koriander oder Petersilie fein hacken und dann alles zusammen mit etwas grobem Salz in einem Mörser zerstampfen, bis eine Paste entstanden ist (größere Stücke sind OK). Zur Seite stellen.
2. Tomate waschen, halbieren und die “Innereien” entfernen und dann würfeln. Avocado entkernen und das Fruchtfleisch in einer Schüssel mit einer Gabel zerdrücken, bis eine cremige Masse entstanden ist. Die Zwiebel/Knoblauch-Paste, Tomatenwürfel und Chilischotenscheiben (optional) dazugeben und verrühren. Mit Limettensaft, Salz und Pfeffer würzen bzw. abschmecken. Sofort mit Tortilla Chips servieren.

Nice recipe; almost the same I prepare here in Costa Rica. Just leave the big seed inside your guacamole to prevent it to get brown. Regards!
Hi Ana,
thanks for the tip! I will try that! :)
Cheers,
Marc
