Guacamole
My version of the popular dip/relish. For some reason this tastes better after a day of rest, covered, in the fridge; the garlic isn't so sharp and the entire mixture tastes more buttery mmm. I have been known to use this mixture instead of butter and/or dressing on a cold roast beef and salad roll or sandwich ... positively delish.
Ingredients:
|
2 ripe avocados |
1 clove garlic, or 1/2 tspn garlic salt * |
|
2 tspn dried coriander |
1 tspn dried chilli flakes (optional) |
|
half a lemon (for juice) |
salt, white pepper ** |
|
2 tbspns natural or Greek style yoghurt |
1 tbspn extra virgin olive oil |
|
|
|
|
* Use the garlic salt if you prefer - or your guests would prefer! - a less intense garlic sensation. I adore garlic so ... |
|
|
** Black pepper is not a good look in this dip, making it discolour and look all brown-y and speckled |
