I’ve made it my own goal in my cooking career to make as much as I can from scratch. Once I figured out how to make the following recipes, I realized I could never buy them from the store again. There comes a point where convenience should not sacrifice the quality. These, along with a few other easy to make items, certainly require quality over convenience!
Salsa and Guacamole
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 Avocado’s
- 2 Lemon
- 2 tablespoon Garlic
- 1/2 cup diced Onions
- 2 tomatoes diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh Cilantro
- 2 dashes salt
- 2 dashes pepper
EQUIPMENT:
- Two mixing bowls
- A measuring spoon and cup
- A fork
METHOD:
We’ll start with the guacamole so get one of the mixing bowls and your fork ready. Cut and scoop out the insides (throw away the pit) of the avocados and place it in the bowl. Add 1/4 cup diced onions, juice of 1 lemon, 1/2 tablespoon cilantro, 1 tablespoon of garlic, 1 dash of salt, and 1 dash of pepper. Now mix up with your fork until the guacamole looks as chunky as you desire. And you are done, yeah that simple!
Salsa follows the same method. Combine juice of 1 lemon, all the diced tomato’s, 1/4 cup diced onions, 1/2 tablespoon cilantro, 1 tablespoon of garlic, 1 dash of salt, and 1 dash of pepper. Mix trying to only smash up a few of the tomatoes. If you like it thin, smash up more tomatoes. Chill and serve.
