Guacamole

Thank you to everyone who gave suggestions on this post. I ended up making a chicken in wine sauce and rice pilaf. Not too shabby for residence food.

Guacamole was the original reason that I bought cilantro. The Cilantro Pesto I made a couple of weeks ago was just a wise afterthought.

There were a couple of guacamole recipes that I was considering, like Jenyu's, Kristen's and Diet, Dessert & Dog's.

In the end, I went with a slight variation on Kristen from Dine and Dash's recipe. Kristen has a really nice food blog that is beautifully organized, featuring lovely pictures, feasible recipes and a fair number of give-aways. Check out her blog here.

Ingredients



3 Avacados, pitted, peeled and chopped (I used two)
2 Roma Tomatoes, seeded and chopped (I didn't seed)
Season Salt to taste
1 dash cumin (to taste)
Juice of half a lemon or lime
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Take the avacado and mash with a fork to desired consistency. Add the remaining ingredients and mix together with a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Serve with chips.

Also, do note the link I've put up at the top of the sidebar that will bring you directly the Tried, Tested and True Two event post. The deadline is July 24th! Oh...and if you happened to notice a roundup of the submissions in your readers, just ignore that. I've officially cut Giz off from late night foodblogging. If you don't have a clue what I'm talking about, all the better.
