*1145 - guacamole

Now that we are on the topic of food that I have recently made (as it often is), here is my guacamole, tweaked over time and made just the way I like it.



A third of a red onion, diced
A few cloves of garlic, minced
2-3 roma tomatoes
A handful of chopped cilantro (fresh)
A sprig of chopped green onion
1 Hass avocado, cubed
Juice from half a lime
Cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper

What I do that is sacrilegious to guacamole but I do because I hate the smell of raw onion and garlic is to saute the onion and garlic lightly until half-cooked. Let cool and mix with all other ingredients. The cumin here is the secret ingredient that gives the guacamole a bit of an adult-tasting kick, and I do add more tomatoes than normal as I find it gives the guacamole a nice freshness. Everything is a vague estimation and sometimes I add more of this or more of that if I feel like it.
