Guacamole, in my opinion, is the quintessential dip with lebanese bread, nachos, chips or crackers at any party, lazy evening, or just because ...
Traditionally from Mexico, this delightful side made with ripe avocados, lemon, <garlic>, <tomato>, <coriander> (<x> implies that x is optional) is refreshing, healthy, and tasty all at the same time unlike many Indian dishes :D
Ingredients (serves 6 as a dip before mains)
2 ripe avocados (i don't like them too ripe, else they become squishy). the easiest way to check ripeness is a) color - bright green implies not ripe (but sometimes due to artifical ripening, even green ones can be ripe) and hence b) just press them a bit and if they are soft like a fresh banana, they are ripe. they should NOT be tooooo soft like a banana turned black
1 clove of garlic
salt to taste
paprika/ chilli powder according to taste
1/2 lime
Optional:
1 small tomato (not too ripe), diced fine
1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander
crush the garlic really well in a mortar pestle to get the juices out or chop really really fine. trust me, you don't want to have a conversation with anyone after you have chewed on one of those bad boys, especially if you have made it for a first date :D
My favorite bread with guacamole is lebanese
