Guacamole

September 04, 2012

We had an avocado that was sure to be forgotten about and then become over-ripe, so I took the initiative and made myself some guacamole for lunch.

I use: an avocado, a little crème fraîche (but I would be just as inclined to use greek yoghurt- given that it is a staple in my fridge), chilli flakes, tomatoes, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

To be honest you can use anything: tomato salsa, coriander, garlic, onions, or lime juice- whatever you can get your hands on.


It then occurred to me that I had no plan of what to eat to accompany my guacamole, this in itself I suppose is pretty strange- given that ordinarily it is a side dish! Anyway, after a few moments of seriously considering eating it out of the bowl, I opted to be a little more civilised with some crackers.



I do worry about what I'm going to think to eat with avocado over the colder months. I always find that I begin to remember all my favourite summer dishes and salads just when the weather is cooling down. That's partly why I have begun to document them on here: so that I can remember them all just in time for the first sunny and warm weekend of the year- as obviously one whole year is enough for them to be erased from my apparently very short memory. Equally, I will begin to recall my favourite wintery meals just in time for the cold weather.

Does anyone have any ideas of good warmer meals that incorporate avocado? 

How do you eat your guacamole?& What do you add to your guacamole?

  1. To be honest I'm not a big fan of avocado, but maybe this is because I don't know how to cook it.

  5. Guac - I go very silly for the stuff! My Guacamole to tortilla ratio is disgusting; I should really eat alone where no one can witness my insanity! x
