Starkers Guacamole Recipe

Starkers Guacamole

From plot_thickens 15 years ago

Starkers Guacamole. Only what's necessary, nothing that isn't. This has won seven 1st-place Salsa Contest prizes. YEAY!!

2 fresh ripe avocadoes shopping list
1 fresh lemon or 2 limes shopping list
salt shopping list
1-4 cl garlic garlic shopping list
chips (talk to your local taqueria, if they fry their own get them instead of the bagged ones. They'll be lighter, crisper, and cheaper) shopping list

With really good ingrediants and focus, your guac will come across as clean, complex, balanced, and full. This is the basis for all other guacamoles and is really what I come back to over and over again.
Skin the garlic and squish into a bowl; squeeze a little lemon into it and toss in a pinch of salt. Mash thoroughly with the back of a fork to create a homogenous, thin, even, smooth paste. Hold a little of each ingrediant back to adjust with later.
Skin and pit avocadoes and put most of the flesh into the bowl and fold thoroughly so the chunks are covered and then mash briefly with the back of a fork. It should be wonderfully chunky, the chunks are so the best!
Whip out a chip or whatever you're tasting this on and go for it. It should be BRIGHT with lemon, DEEP with garlic, SHARP with salt, and RICH with avocadoes. Adjust seasonings. Try not to cry with joy after you've balanced the salt in your Starkers Guacamole. :)

You're right "This is the basis" for a great guac. I like to add 1 Tbl. of my fresh salsa. Just to add other burst of flavors. Thank you for posting. You got my 5.

This is exactly the way I've always made mine! I like to add a little Texas Pete or Tabasco to kick it up a little!

Guacamole the way it was meant to be - I agree, simplicity in this is the best...why cover the devine taste of the avocados (except with the necessary garlic, of course).
