What Chef Roberto Santibañez wants cooks to realize about guacamole is this: "There is a very important textural thing to guacamole -- we never really mush up the avocado. You want to feel everything." GET THE RECIPE ►► f52.co/2YGkgt9

This Mexican chef knows what's up. From going into depth about Nahuatl and explaining the name guacamole. Awesome recipe!

I just received my copies of Genius Food and Genius Desserts and this was one of the ones I earmarked to try so thanks for this as I wasn’t clear on the procedure. Also, Mr Santibanez is so clearly in love with Mother Nature’s gifts and so humble at the same time. Thank you for sharing the recipe and technique.

Thank you. That’s the one. If you put lime, eat immediately as it tends to cook the other ingredients and alters the freshness.

@upscalebohemian5372 Жыл бұрын

I followed along but chopped all the "sauce" ingredients in a mini-food processor (everything but the avocado). Worked out fine, and if I were in a fast paced restaurant situation I would definitely do it that way. Not sure I agree with the cilantro comment about adding the stems removes the soap taste experienced by some. Only some people get the soap taste (Ina Garten, for one), and it's due to a gene (which thankfully, I don't have).

Can you list that exact cutting board please

@notesfromleisa-land 2 жыл бұрын

Watching the technique on cutting the jalapeno was a surprise payload! I don't make much guacomole...but I do make my almost-famous hot-pepper relish with jalapenos, seranos, green tomatoes and onions in a sweet pickle mix. I grind the hot peppers in a commercial grinder....and when they are spicy the vapors will give you vapors. Thank you for demonstrating your wonderful recipe and methods.

@dreyhawk 5 жыл бұрын

If you can not have the chili peppers is there a substitute or is it best to just omit it and go on with the recipe?

Yes, it's fine to omit!

@cozyvamp 5 жыл бұрын

I grew up with avocados and guacamole. The first recipe I was ever given (in my mid-teens) used ketchup!!! Yikes. Everyone I made it for loved it. Everyone, that is, except me. ;) When I got a little older, it dawned on me that I didn't need that sweet, tomato-y stuff in my guac. Heh. It's amazing what we get used to when we get off on the wrong foot. Think for yourself and eat food the way you like it and, in this case, the way it should be eaten. /;))) I should probably say that we had always eaten our avocados by slicing them in half, removing the pit and putting something akin to a vinaigrette in the hollow, one half per person, as a first course. The ketchup-using recipe came from an aunt who had "picked it up" in Vera Cruz -- may have started out there as diced tomato...

After making quite a few salsas and guacamoles, and avocado and tomatillo salsa, I learned that another extremely important ingredient is WHITE onion. Cannot emphasize enough that it has to be white. Any other onion way to bitter /pungent and completely ruins fresh salsas and guacamoles.
