My Wholly Guacamole Go-To Recipe

This week, I would like to introduce you to my Go-To guacamole recipe. Guacamole is one of my specialties. Every time there's a friends' gathering I'm the one to bring the guacamole; everyone loves it. So, here I am sharing my recipe with you and how I make it.

Ingredients

Two ripened medium-sized Mexican avocados

Two ripened medium to large plum tomatoes

Half a coriander bunch a.ka. Cilantro.

One medium to large red onion

One small husked green tomato a.k.a. tomatillo

2 large green limes (squeezed)

3/4 cup of Goya extra virgin olive oil

1 pouch of Concord Foods guacamole mix (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste.


Instructions

I use a manual mixer for making my guacamole. But, you can use an electric blender. I find that using the manual mixer gives me a better chance to blend all ingredients without over blending. That way, all the colors from the ingredients (tomatoes, onions) can be appreciated and contrast with the yellow-green from the avocados. I would suggest not to add all ingredients together in the electric blender, but in the order that the recipe calls. That way we can have a chunky, colorful, and tasty guacamole.

Set up manual mixer, using the helix blade. In the mixer bowl start adding the ingredients as follows:

Cut the avocados lengthwise, once sliced cut into small cubes, press your thumb in the peel and drop cubes into mixing bowl. Dice plum tomatoes into chunky pieces, and add them to the avocado. Peel onion off and using a shredder, shred the onion into the bowl using the finest shredding side. Do, the same with the tomatillo. Now, add the olive oil.

Place the mixing bowl lid with helix blade and start blending all ingredients together. The olive oil will make it easier to mix all larger ingredients faster. Blend until you have formed an even paste, but still can see some chunky red pieces from the plum tomatoes. Take a taste of it to check if more oil is needed.

Add the content of the guacamole mix pouch. This will work as a preservative. Squeeze the two limes making sure to catch the seeds, add salt and pepper. Replace the lid, and start mixing the ingredients again. Keep blending, until the little pieces of the red plum tomatoes can be seen. Take a taste of the mix to check if more salt is needed.

Take a half bunch of coriander and cut it into tiny pieces. Start cutting bunch from the roots up. Toss the hairy roots. And cut your way up to the leaves, keeping the stems. Once, the bunch is nicely cut. Add coriander to the mix. Replace bowl lid and mix the coriander, until some of it has gone to the bottom. Now that all ingredients are perfectly blended, taste the guacamole. Once you have reached your desired flavor, serve in a separate glass bowl. Transfer the guacamole from the mixing bowl into a clear glass bowl using a large spatula. Garnish with scallions, capers, banana peppers, and jalapenos. It's up to your taste and your guests' preference.

This recipe is mild. So, if a spicy recipe is desired. Shred two jalapeno peppers before the onions, and add a half cup of Texas Pete hot sauce or Tabasco sauce. If, taking both recipes to a party, decorate the spicy guacamole with the jalapenos only to identify it from the mild.

Spicy Guacamole with Toasted Chips

This recipe can be chilled overnight if serving the day after making it. The guacamole can be used as a dipping sauce for corn tortilla chips or topped on toasted baguettes.

I hope that you try it and enjoy it!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
