What is the best way to cook guacamole?

Guacamole is a trendy dish served at parties and barbeques. It’s usually made with avocado, tomato, onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. But Should I use a food processor or blender or chop avocados?

Using a Food Processor.

You can use a food processor to make guacamole, but it takes more time and requires patience. Start by cutting the avocados and tomatoes into small cubes. Add the onions, garlic, lime juice, and salt to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is chopped but not too fine. Avocados should not be blended.

Next, add the tomatoes and continue to pulse. Once you’ve mixed all the ingredients, you can add the cilantro and chives. If you’re using fresh cilantro, you’ll need to add a small amount of salt. The more cilantro you add, the better the taste of the guacamole. Add a little bit until the flavor is right for you. Then you can remove the lid and mix the ingredients by hand to ensure a nice, creamy texture.

Using a Blender

If you want to make guacamole quickly, you can use a blender instead of a food processor. However, this requires more time and patience because you need to add ingredients carefully one by one.

To make the guacamole, you’ll need a blender. Use the lid while blending so that you don’t overheat the mixture. Start by finely chopping the avocados and tomatoes. Add the onions, garlic, lime juice, and salt to the blender and blend until all the ingredients are finely chopped and well-mixed. Next, add the tomatoes and pulse a couple of times. You’ll notice that you’ll end up with a chunky texture in your mixture.

After you’ve blended all the ingredients:

  1. Add the cilantro and chives. You can add a small amount of salt here as well.
  2. Start mixing by hand to ensure that the mixture is evenly combined.
  3. Taste the mixture to make sure that the flavor is to your liking.
  4. If not, add more salt or lime juice to taste.

Ensure that you keep the blender’s lid closed while blending, so you don’t overheat the guacamole mixture. Also, be careful not to spill it on the floor. Guacamole keeps in the refrigerator for about a week. 

How many ingredients does guacamole need?

You’ll need one whole avocado, one clove of garlic, one teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of lime juice, and either vegetable or olive oil. If you want to add other herbs, you can add any amount of them.

The best way to peel the skin off the avocado is by placing it under running water. Once the skin is completely peeled off, you’ll be able to cut out the pit easily. Once you remove the pit, cut the avocado in half, and scoop out the flesh. Then place it into a bowl, and you’re ready to start mashing!

How to make guacamole without a blender

Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit.

Gently scoop the avocado out of the skin with a spoon and put the flesh in the bowl.

Add the tomatoes.

Slice the onions and add to the bowl.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Use a lime as a cutting board and squeeze the lime juice into the bowl.

Mix them all together well.

Enjoy!

The best way to store and refrigerate it

Guacamole should be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. After that, you should put it back in the refrigerator and eat it as soon as possible.

Store the dip in a sealable container with a lid.

Store

You want to avoid using plastic containers. They leach chemicals into your guacamole. Instead, use glass or stainless steel containers.

Also, avoid cling wrap or aluminum foil because they trap moisture, which can cause mold. And you want to put your guacamole in the fridge when you’re ready to serve it!

Refrigerate

Place the guacamole in the refrigerator the same day you make it. It’s fine to leave it out as long as it’s covered. But make sure you don’t cover it too tightly, or it won’t breathe well, and you’ll lose its freshness.

The ideal temperature for storing guacamole is 45 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. If you keep it above this temperature, it will spoil quickly. But below this temperature, it tends to stay fresh longer.
