Guacamole En Molcajete From Rosa Mexicano Food

GUACAMOLE EN MOLCAJETE FROM ROSA MEXICANO

Steps:

• Combine 1 tablespoon of the chopped onions, ½ teaspoon of the chopped jalapeno and ½ teaspoon of the cilantro with ½ teaspoon of salt in a bowl.
• With the back of a wooden spoon mash these ingredients into a paste. This releases the juices within.
• Split the avocado in half, then remove the seed. Slice the avocado lengthwise in about 1/8-1/4 inch strips, and then across, forming a grid. Scoop the avocado out of the skin with a spoon (never mash or scrape it).
• Add the avocado to the paste and fold to combine thoroughly. Add the other ingredients, folding gently, taking care not to mash the guacamole.
• Add jalapenos and salt to taste.
• Serve with corn tortillas and chips.

• With the back of a wooden spoon (the salt and the stone help in grinding), mash these ingredients into a paste. This releases the juices within. Split the avocado in half, then remove the seed. Slice the avocado lengthwise in about 1/8-1/4 inch strips, and then across, forming a grid.
• Scoop the avocado out of the skin with a spoon (never mash or scrape it).
• Add the avocado to the paste in the molcajete and fold to combine thoroughly. Add the other ingredients, folding gently, taking care not to mash the guacamole.*** Add jalapenos and salt to taste. Serve with corn tortillas and chips.
• * Only Haas avocados from California, with a dark green bumpy skin, perfectly ripened for rich flavor. ** The tomatoes must be perfectly ripened. *** Mixing the ingredients rather than mashing them leaves the guacamole chunky and somewhat firm, not mushy.
