This isn't real
guacamole because it doesn't have tomato or onion. I
can't eat raw onions; Kit can't eat raw tomatos.
I originally came up with this for a St. Paddy's Day theme at a
WSFA
meeting, where the hostess had requested green food. I molded it in the
shape of a shamrock and presented it as Irish Ichor
(or, in
Gaelic, Erin go Bleagh
) *.
I think the original of this comes from Nigella Lawson's TV show, strained through my bad memory.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe (mooshy) avocados
- 1/2 bunch scallions, finely chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tbs. cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, thoroughly juiced. Lotsa pulp.
- Chopped fresh jalapeño peppers to taste **
- salt to taste
All quantities are extremely non- critical.
Procedure:
Smoosh everything together. Sprinkle some more chopped cilantro over the top as a garnish.
Notes:
* Why, yes, I am a Lovecraft fan. Why do you ask?
** 0-3 depending on the peppers and the asbestos quotient of your tongue. See the Salsa Llaja recipe for a brief dissertation on hot peppers.
