Not!guacamole

[yakalskovich]

This is a dip for tortilla chips made from avocados which is not guacamole; it contains things no self-respecting guacamole would even tolerate in the vicinity. Still, people seem to like it (to judge by the speed with which it vanishes at parties), so here is the recipe.




You start with these ingredients.



Free the avocados from their peels and stones, and put the pulp in a bowl.



Add salt...



... pepper...



... tabasco sauce...



... chili powder (to taste; I don't take much because the Nazgul tends to be a bit of a wuss about spicy things, so when I make something for Sunday movietime, I go easier on the spices than I otherwise would; and of course this was made for a Sunday movietime, for who else would have taken the pictures if not the Nazgul?) ...



... generous amounts of garlic (in this case, chopped and frozen garlic from a bag) ...



... and cream, depending on how much avocado there is. Go easy on it; you can always add more when the result gets too stodgy, but can't take out any if it gets too runny.



Puree with a hand mixer...



... until very smooth; add cream as needed during the process.



The result can be more or less green, according to the greenness of the avocados; this was one of the least green versions I ever made. It seems I had got a rather ungreen breed of avocados.



Then serve...


...with tortilla chips.

Nice! My not!guacamole has tomatoes in it; will have to try this. (And I want a Welsh tea mug to go with it.) :D

The Welsh tea-mug, Sal sent me from her museum shop. She was telling me about them one day on IM, because they'd got a new batch that was more expensive but otherwise the same as the old batch, which meant she couldn't put out the new until the very last of the old had been sold...

And I said, mug with red Welsh dragon? I'll have to get one if I ever make it there. So she sent me one.
