Guacamole from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (page 50) by Ina Garten

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This is our house guacamole recipe. I sub lime juice for lemon juice, omit the Tabasco, and sometimes I leave out the tomato if I don't have any around. I mash my guacamole with a fork but usually leave it on the chunkier side. No matter how you make this, it's always amazing!

    Pretty sure Ina taught me my first guac. Over time I have preferred to sub jalapeño for hot sauce, lime for the lemon, and add cilantro.

    This year my annual "pre-Christmas dinner party" was a red & green Mexican feast. Neither of us are guacamole fans (i.e. After making it, husband tasted and said "I suppose that is how it is supposed to taste") BUT all night people raved and the bowl was scraped clean! I can always rely on BFC to deliver!

    I used white onion soaked in water for 10 min to remove some of the pungency. Added cilantro (Ina hates it, but we love it). Mashed the avocados with a fork rather than cutting them; the cutting method in the bowl seems rather awkward. Added salt to taste. Good recipe.
