Holy Guacamole

 Hello. I have a really great family. Mostly everybody gets along and if that is not the case, at least by the end of the day every one is doing well. A part of my family is an aunt with a great avocado tree! Every year it fruits abundant. This year in exchange for helping with upgrading their computer, they gave my a bucket load. I had to eat them fast enough before they went bad because there was so many. I love avocados and I hope you do as well! Here is a simple avocado recipe that I use.

 

 7 Avocado

1  Purple Shalot

1 Tomato

1 Lime

1 Jalepeno(marinated)

A few sprigs of Cilantro (removed from stem)

1.  Cut the avocado in half and remove the seed by inserting the end near the handle of the knife into the seed. Twist and the seed should lift right out (be careful, it may take some practice). 2.   Scoop out the flesh and place it in a medium size mixing bowl. At this point I like to squeeze the lime juice in the bowl  (to keep the avocado from oxidizing and turning it more brownish then the neat green color it has already), mix. 3. Remove the stem from the tomato by cutting a circle with the tip of the knife around the stem and discard. Cut the tomato in half and take to the sink. Softly squeeze and rinse to remove the seeds and the membrane from the tomato. Cut the tomato and the rest of the vegetables in ¼ inch cubes. Add to the bowl. julian the cilantro and toss it in, season with salt and pepper, and incorporate all of the ingredients by folding.  Serve with chips and garnish with a sprig of cilantro if desired.

Thank you very much! Eric M. Rangel
