Guacamole


This is a recipe that Tim found on the Wild Oats web site, and it has quickly become our favorite version:

3 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
Juice of 1 lime
1 medium tomato, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp minced garlic
4 dashed Tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp sugar
salt to taste


Mash (I use a pastry blender) the avocados in a bowl, until slightly lumpy. Add the lime juice, tomato, cilantro, onions and garlic. Add the Tabasco, cumin and sugar and salt. Mix well and sample to add whatever you need (we often like more lime juice). Cover and let stand at room temp or in the fridge for an hour to let the flavors blend.
Enjoy!

Here is our kitchen set-up while we were making this dip... as I say in our "about us" description, we set up on each side of the island with our own cutting boards and chop away.

My sophomore year in college, I had a roommate from California whose mom would send us care packages of avocados. Best. Guacamole. Ever. Will have to try putting a bit of sugar in (I tend to use Penzey's adobo mix for convenience.)
