CHUNKY GUACAMOLE RECIPE

We have tried a few chunky Guacamole recipes, as let’s face it, there is no such a thing as traditional recipe for Guacamole. Everyone does it differently, even in Mexico, and we would like to think that ours is the best.  In fact the last time we went to a Mexican restaurant we gave each other a knowing nod in agreement that our Guacamole is simply better.

Our guacamole has these amazing ingredients – avocados, garlic, white or red onion, lime juice, jalapeños, smoked paprika and lots and lots of coriander (cilantro). But we have seen Guacamole made with chillis, peppers and some times even tomatoes and rather it being chunky, it’s been blitzed to almost looking like a light green dressing using most likely a mix of avocados and yoghurt. No that’s not for us. We love it chunky and lumpy and we want to see the rest of the ingredients.

Guacamole’s main ingredient, avocado, has great health benefits. It gives us healthy fats that are great for lowering our bad cholesterol levels and improving our heart function naturally, moreover it’s antioxidant and incredibly rich in important and anti-cancer vitamins, minerals and fibre.

Avocados come from the ancient Aztec word “ahuacatl,” meaning “testicles”. And, Guacamole means literally a sauce from  avocados. Traditionally, to make Guacamole, people were using a mortar and pestle to get the right consistency. But you can use a fork, it works perfectly fine too.

We use a lot of coriander, aka cilantro in our chunky guacamole recipe. Coriander is a fantastic herb. Not only is it tasty, but it comes with incredible health benefits. Coriander is super rich in antioxidants. It also is anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and is brilliantly detoxifying. Coriander is also known for keeping our blood sugar low and can help treating diabetes naturally. It is also helps lowering bad cholesterol, support and help digestive system and protect agains heart disease.
