HOLY [Makin’] Guacamole!

TheCoutureCook | WINEandWEARLeave a comment

Guac is super easy! It’s fresh, tasty, and a perfect compliment for so many dishes if you’re looking for kicked up flavor. Don’t let the mortar and pestle fool you, good guacamole requires nothing but a couple of pieces from your local produce aisle at the supermarket, a bowl, and a fork!

The Couture Cook’s Guacamole

2-3 Haas Avacados (cut them, seed them, squish them, make sure they’re ripe and ready to go. Mash all of it well)

1 Lime juiced, 1 lemon, juiced

Some Salt, Pepper, and Papricka

2 Cloves of Garlic, minced well

1 Hand Full of Fresh Cilantro, chopped up well

2 Roma Tomatos, gutted and chopped (don’t use pulp and seeds)

1 Red Onion, chopped well

  1. Toss the Avocados and Lime Juice together well, so all of the avocado is coated, and doesn’t get brown (which doesn’t mean it’s bad, but it doesn’t look very appetizing)
  2. Mash well and add in spices and garlic completely
  3. Stir in onion, tomato, and cilantro well

To store, make sure you seal as air tight as possible. I usually put it in glad-ware or something similar, press plastic rap down on the top, then put the lid on and keep it in the refridgerator

Just Food for Thought!

We want to give a very special thank you to Kymisha Smith, for naming The Couture Cook’s expansion, doughnate. We’ll still be taking private orders (wedding, graduation cakes etc.)! This is something we’ve been working on since September, and we are so proud to finally put a name on it and help others! Also, a special thank you to every one who has taken part in this journey for the past 1+ years, we could not have done it with out you!

For more information about the program, the description can be found here: https://thecouturecook.wordpress.com/doughnate/ [the link is also above, in pages]

Love!
