Guacamole ....( This one is for Glenn ).

Sunday, 3. August 2008, 20:20:20

Nosotros los mexicanos comemos mucho guacamole, lo usamos con todo, siempre lo tenemos listo. Acà en Mèxico se cultivan unos de los mejores aguacates a nivel mundial. Quiero compartir con ustedes la RECETA ORIGINAL de un buen guacamole. No hay necesidad de usar una licuadora, ya que es uno de los platillos mas fàciles de hacer. Con un recipiente hondo, un tenedor, y una buena cuchara de palo, no necesitamos mas. El guacamole es bàsico para los tacos, o para comerlo como botana con tostaditas.

INGREDIENTES:

2 aguacates de buen tamañano sin càscara, guardar por lo menos un hueso.
1 cucharadita de jugo de limòn.
1 jitomate o tomate rojo sin càscara de buen tamaño o 2 medianos partido en cuadritos.
2 cucharaditas de cebolla picada finamente ya desflemada.
1 cucharadita de cilantro bien picado y perfectamente lavado y desinfectado.
Sal al gusto.
Un poco de leche.

En un recipiente hondo poner los aguacates y triturarlos con un tenedor hasta obtener consistencia suave. Añadir un poco de leche y acremar con la cuchara de palo. Añadir los demàs ingredientes, uno a uno. Sin olvidar mezclar con la cuchara mencionada. El hueso reservado se pone hasta el final dentro del guacamole, para que este no se ponga negro. Se puede refrigerar un rato o comerse de inmediato. Servir como acompañante de tacos, carnes, arroz o comer como botana con tostaditas. DELICIOSO.

En Mèxico, aun se preparan unos guacamoles exquisitos, cuando son preparadas en MOLCAJETE, un antiquisimo utensilio prehispànico, usado desde los aztecas, para preparar alimentos. Este utensilio esta hecho de piedra, sirve para hacer salsas, guacamoles, etc. Una especie de licuadora prehispànica, pero que da un toque de sabor màgico a los platillos. Los molcajetes aùn se pueden comprar en los mercados mexicanos.

Delicioso guacamole servido con tostadas.

Delicious guacamole dip with tortilla chips.

Este es un guacamole preparado en un MOLCAJETE.

This is a guacamole dip fixed in a MOLCAJETE.

We, mexicans, eat a lot of guacamole. It is a very easy dish to prepare. You dont need a blender, or a mixer, no...You only need a cacerole where you are going to prepare it, a fork, a wooden spoon and of course the ingredients. Here in Mexico we have one of the best avocados of the world, that is why our guacamole is great. But you, where ever you are, can do it. You need few ingredients...and you can taste it with tacos, or meat or only with tortilla chips.

In ancient times, since the aztecs, they had a stone utensil called MOLCAJETE, made just with stone. We still use it. It gaves to our food a very magic touch....Ok, here is the recipe, but remember, NO BLENDER.

INGREDIENTS:
2 lg. ripe avocados
1 tbsp. (each) lime (or lemon) juice,
1 med. tomato, skinned and finely chopped
2 tbsp. onion, minced
1/2 tsp. (each) ground coriander, salt
2-3 chopped huachinango chiles
Milk

Peel avocados, removing pits (reserve 1 pit); mash pulp with fork, add milk and smooth it. Add lime juice, tomato, onion, coriander and salt. Add the huachinango chiles and mix well with the wooden spoon. Place pit on top of guacamole dip and refrigerate (keeps dip from darkening). Remove pit when ready to serve.

Je... aca no le echamos leche y el tomate es con cáscara

Tenía entendido que el chiste del limon era que no se pusiera negro (o sea, como un sustituto del hueso).
Y la verdad, el guacamole queda bien en todo ^_^

Por cierto... a mi no me gusta

jeje

Saludos!

Editado: Alguien usa licuadora para hacer guacamole??!!!

First off--I would like to say that I like your guardian crossed Darth Vader looking crows! They dress the cave door in an unusual way! Your creation it quite ingenious for an old witch! haha Wish I could try your family (Aztec not Myan--I stand corrected) concoction right now--all I lack are the avocados and tomato. I must tell you, however, the coriander is not one of our fav. spices! But, with the other ingredients, it may be OK --don't like cilantro either! And I think they have a similar taste! I will start with a 1/4 tsp. and increase to taste OK?! I am glad I am not required to have a wooden bowl! Someplace I have a stone bowl with an Aztec god towering over it, that a renter left some years ago (we thought they may have used it to crush up something for their happy face!!! haha). I will surely get you out of your couch to tell you what comes out!!!Thanks again Greenie Witch of the Middle! !

greenwitch3 # 4. August 2008, 00:09

You are welcome dear Glenn...and...do you comments need to be always so funny ??? I am reading it and laughing, my daughter is asking me if I am reading jokes.
You dont need to put coriander or cilantro if you dont want. It is ok...hope you can make it as it must be, just the mexican style. You are going to love it.
( And dont change your writing style....I think you are the only Myopera users that have that sense or humor, and it is a blessing...).

greenwitch3 # 4. August 2008, 00:12

Mi dulce Katinka, gracias por estar. Entonces no te gusta el guacamole ? Bueno, te entiendo, yo tengo a mi hermana, la mayor que no puede ver el aguacate pero ni en pintura. Obvio que no soporta el guacamole.

Tienes razòn, mucha gente no le quita la càscara al jitomate, creo que es mejor asi, sin quitarsela, tal vez hasta llegue a saber mas rico.

Y si, hay mucha gente que usa su batidora mas que nada, o a veces su licuadora, para mezclar muy bien todos los ingredientes del guacamole y hacerlo asi. Pero ahora ya saben algunos, que no hay mejor manera de hacerlo, que a mano. Y si pueden comprar un molcajete, pues mejor.

Te mando un abrazo inmenso....inmenso para ti.....LA BRUJA VERDE.

recipes!!! I love recipes!!!!

Thank you Ro for the Guacamole! Yesterday I bought some avocados and I'll try to do this week!

uttopia # 4. August 2008, 03:51

Becky! I have not seen your comments in a while!! I have been seeing things in Google News about Brazil! What was going on down there< I think Fri! I even forgot it has been so long waiting to see you! It was some disaster, I think like earth quake or flood or such?!

Greenie! I though you had been reading my blog. I said I it more than once that I aspired to be a comodian (that is a porcelin comedian) haha

greenwitch3 # 4. August 2008, 04:00

Beeeeeeeeeecky, the future bride....welcome here. And if you like recipes, I will write some for you, for your new home.

Glenn, hahahaha, so you want to be a comodian....hahaha, you are really funny. God Bless You.

uttopia # 4. August 2008, 13:12

I didn't notice that Beeeeeeeeeecky meant Becky at first and thought you were talking to me Greenie---had to look up to see who my future bride was!!!!!!haha

b_laudanum # 4. August 2008, 14:25

Hey Glenn, I'm a kind busy you know, things for the wedding. This week will be the same and I guess I'll be less posting and commenting... News just in the end of the month... after back from the honeymoon...

But I took a little time for me yesterday and so I kept visiting my watched blogs!

I love recipes! I have a book full of recipes. From many places of the world. And I try to make them, not just have them.

My avocados are almost right to be used!

And I guess I'll do the guacamole tomorrow!

noah counte # 4. August 2008, 17:57

That looks good. I don't mind the avacado turning color, but a lot of people do. It's good to learn the trick with the pit!

greenwitch3 # 4. August 2008, 19:12

You must read very carefully Glenn....I was talking about our dear Becky, the future bride, remember she is going to get married this week end....

So, no bride for you...sorry. ..hahahaha.

Dear Becky, I am sure that that GUACAMOLE is going to be just great....

Dear Noah, yes, the trick of the pit is good, but a little of milk helps too, and the lemon drops....you are going to like it very very much.

noah counte # 4. August 2008, 19:35

If I ever have to marry again, I will elope.

greenwitch3 # 4. August 2008, 19:39

noah counte # 4. August 2008, 19:43

Not that I don't wish you all the luck in the world, Bea (and a very happy wedding)!

uttopia # 4. August 2008, 22:39

I was hoping that you would finally see the light Becky and run into MY arms! But it is apparent that you are blinded by love and will soon be out of my reach! I really didn't want to be a bigamist anyway! The best to the two of you---and I hope he doesn't smash that wedding cake all over your face as is the custom! Because you are too sweet as it is! haha
Greenie, I can not pass your bobo! Don't get mad but I don't think lemon drops will do much other than to be good to suck on later! I am sure you meant drops of lemon juice, however! See what a good cook I would make! haha
Noah, if you ever marry again, it will be for love, not money! haha

Patritzya # 4. August 2008, 23:49

wow... riquìsimo.

Palta (aguacate) se le llama aquí, y no es fácil de conseguir, aunque los árboles muchas veces forman parte de un jardín.

No es costumbre usarlo en las comidas, así que generalmente los frutos caen maduros al piso, sin que nadie los aproveche. Y en las fruterias, luego, sale bastante carito...

mmm... se ve delicioso!
Gracias por la receta.

besazos bruji bruji, cómo estás?

blondpony # 4. August 2008, 23:56

mm a eso le dicen tostadas? ajaja q raro

Yo probe eso un par de veces, no me gusta ni me disgusta.. es algo que puedo comer como no

Besotes

greenwitch3 # 5. August 2008, 00:05

Glenn, isnt it the same lemon drops that drops of lemon? Well
the thing is that you must use LEMON on the guacamole, it is
helpful just for the color, and yes, maybe a little bit on the
flavor. Try it.

Si, mi querida Patito, sabia yo que alla se llamaban paltas.
Y tambièn sabia que no eran muy de su gusto para guisar con
ellos. Que pena que lleguen a ser tan caros. Ojalà y algun dia
te decidas a hacer esta receta. Un abrazo para ti.

Linda Blond, si, esas son las tostadas, bueno, mas bien parecen
nachos, o pedazos de tostadas listos para ser comidos con el
guacamole. Tal vez no has probado el sabor original del guaca-
mole y por eso te da igual. Ojalà algun dia lo puedas hacer, ya
veras como te va a encantar. Un besote para ti.

blondpony # 5. August 2008, 01:08

ok, ahi tengo excusa para ir a visitarte

uttopia # 5. August 2008, 01:51

Rocio, "lemon drops' are a almost round size of hazel nut, hard candy. Lemon flavor, of course.

Patritzya # 5. August 2008, 01:52

Por supuesto que la haré!
mmm qué raro que no lleva PICANTE!...

Abrazos Ro, y que estés bien.

noah counte # 5. August 2008, 01:56

Glenn, marrying for love next time suggests I married for money last time? I did very poorly, if that is the case. I end up more broke than I started!

b_laudanum # 5. August 2008, 02:40

Noah!!!!!

I accept your congrats!

Glenn

what???? Are you suggesting that I have to be in your arms??!!!!

Jesus!!! I'll hve to keep it secret!!!

Dont worry about the cake! He's not crazy do to this!

uttopia # 5. August 2008, 03:27

So, Noah, would you have it any other way?!?

Becky, I just wanted you to realize what you will be giving up to have someone better than I---you still have to give me up no mater how insignificant I am! Just go ahead and have a wonderful life, see if I care! haha

I always hated that cake smash thing!

noah counte # 5. August 2008, 03:45

No way, Glenn. Money is overrated. I'd sure like to pay off all the bills, though.

b_laudanum # 5. August 2008, 12:24

Glenn... you're a crazy guy!

I keep ahead! And I'm sure I'll have a wonderful life! But I'll keep going visiting you!

thatgirl # 5. August 2008, 14:39

ARH HUM, Miss Green,
I hate to tell you that Australia has won the international best avocados award 3 years in role and brazil has won it few times. So what Avocado varieties do you think make the best Guacamole. I know this has been debated for long time and love hear your 2 cents. For me when it come to Guacamole I have made it not way you said but i try it, but i have some very fab Guacamole varieties and think best i had chli seeds in it. Any way I not trying be brat to ya but for me Guacamole can be made any way and find it amusing you showing glenn how do it the Mexican way, witch is cool, but have you ever had warm Guacamole on venison if not you should really try its great

noah counte # 5. August 2008, 14:52

You Aussies stole it from the Americas!

I did notice that Australia isn't in the top ten producers (by weight) - even Ethiopia prodices more - and that all of it's avocados come from Victoria, near Melbourne. When I move to Australia, it will definately be to to the far south.

I'm partial to haas avocados, probably because they are what I'm used to.

Huong Lan # 5. August 2008, 14:54

Wow, it looks yummy, Rocio!

How I envy you, Glenn.

thatgirl # 5. August 2008, 14:58

stole it from the Americas yep you bet we did and that was way befor copyright was around and if think haveing things by weight then you must be really happy be in would Capital for Obesity, home of the super size hehe

noah counte # 5. August 2008, 15:03

Just saying y'all need to produce more avocados than Ethiopia, in order to be taken seriously

Now worms... Australia is the undisputed champion of the giant worm!

thatgirl # 5. August 2008, 15:10

And deadly snakes and wool and A grade beef and weat so yeah

b_laudanum # 5. August 2008, 15:19

I thought avocado was a tropical fruit... so it was stolen from here!!!

noah counte # 5. August 2008, 15:25

Avocado originated in Mexico and central America. It's been cultivated for more than 10,000 years!

thatgirl # 5. August 2008, 15:29

Were did the pineapple came from Noah ?

b_laudanum # 5. August 2008, 15:29

How do you know!!!????

Kidding Noah!

noah counte # 5. August 2008, 15:47

I looked it up, Bea.

It's my curse that I need to find out things I don't know.

The pineapple came from South America (Brazil, Paraguay and Uraguay).

thatgirl # 5. August 2008, 15:50

noah such cheater hehe Google to save day again. Any way when on topic of food, what is everyone favoright country for food ?

b_laudanum # 5. August 2008, 15:59

Pineapples yay!!!! Best are in Brazil!!!!

thatgirl # 5. August 2008, 16:04

laudanum,did you have touch to much surgar

noah counte # 5. August 2008, 16:04

We've had some very good ineapples here lately, Bea. They probably did come from Brazil. When they are ripe, they are delicious!

I want to know everything, Melissa. When I don't know something, I have to look it up. That's why I'm a librarian, I'm sure.

My favorite country... That's really tough! I love Mexican. I love Italian. I love Thai, some Chinese, Korean, Carribean... I just love to cook (and to eat)!

thatgirl # 5. August 2008, 16:07

noah counte # 5. August 2008, 18:00
