DISH NAME : GUACAMOLE
Preparation Time : 10 minutes
Chilling Time : 15 minutes
Description
Guacamole prounounced as Gu-ha-ca-mol, is a light green chutney made from avocados. Avocado is also known as butter fruit in some parts of the world. When ripe the skin of avocado turns brown in color. Only ripe avocados are used to make guacamole. To ripen avocados, keep them in brown paper bags.
Note
1) Do not use Avocados that are not ripe. It is safer to buy ripe, brown colored Avocados.
2) Do not over mix Guacamole. Best Guacamole always has a little chunky texture to it. Mix it till only flavors are combined, leaving some chunks.
3) To prevent oxidation, some people suggest leaving the Avocado stone inside the Guacamole till serving time.
