Amazing Guacamole from Costa Rica

This dish is seriously healthy and really high in good fats (monounsaturates) - great for the arteries! I learned how to make Guacamole in Costa Rica - I know its a mexican dish but hey maybe this is the costa rican twist! Read more My family are scared of weird food - but love this! This Christmas I made a big bowlful and served it with crackers (hummous and pate too) to all my neighbours who came over - and they polished it off. Irish people surprise me at how open they are to new tastes (....sometimes, more often it is "give me a potato!"). Half the quantities for a small bowl perfect to last you a day or two! See less
Ingredients
- 2 avacados shopping list
- 1 small tomato shopping list
- juice of one lime (or lemon if you have no lime) shopping list
- 2 tablespoons of onion (white) finely chopped shopping list
- half a TSP salt shopping list
- 2 TBSP fresh coriander (if you don't have fresh, try a TBSP the dried stuff - add more later if needed) shopping list
- Tobasco (few shakes- more if you like it HOT!) shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon Worchester sauce (Lee and perrins type) shopping list
How to make it
- Peel and chop the avacado (it should be ripe and not too hard)
- Chop tomato finely (you could skin it but i never do)
- Put onion, avacado, salt, lime juice, coriander and the sauces into a blender and BLEND but leave A LITTLE LUMPY (not too chunky, not completely smooth)
- I usually throw in the finely chopped TOMATO at the end and give it a LITTLE WHIZZ- just so its left a little chunky
- Cover with cling film or tin goil and CHILL for half hour before serving
- Serve with CRACKERS (or tacos they are just less healthy!), in a SANDWICH instead of butter, on TOAST with scrambled eggs for breakfast (seriously yum!)
