The Best Mortar and Pestle Style Guacamole - Michael Aram

The Best Mortar and Pestle Style Guacamole

Posted by Te'a DiNapoli on

Are you looking for a fresh, healthy, and smooth guacamole dish? Not only are the taste and flavors of the ingredients more intense than other methods, this mortar and pestle recipe embraces tradition and celebrates culture. Whether you are cooking for a gathering or just looking for a new topping for your next dinner, the rise of wellness trends makes guacamole an easy and delicious dish.  

With Cinco De Mayo around the corner, we wanted to create a dish that celebrates the Mexican culture and traditions.

Avocados are such a rich fruit in México, they’ve become a well-known symbol of their heritage. The history of this popular treat dates back to the Aztec Empire during the 1500s. The Spaniards also loved this treat but had trouble growing them in Spain, leaving guacamole a more popular Mexican food in the Americas.  

 

 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 finely diced Jalapeno 
  • 2 tablespoons of white onion (diced) 
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)  
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro (chopped) 
  • 1 ½ tablespoons tomato (diced)  
  • ½ Lime 
  • 2 Avocados 
  • Pinch of sea-salt  
  • Pinch of pepper 

 

Instructions:  

  • Start by cutting 1 avocado in half, peeling, and placing inside the mortar. Use pestle to smash the avocado. Add the second avocado and repeat steps until the texture is blended. 
  • Dice up your onion and jalapeño. Make sure your jalapeno is diced thinly, remove seeds to reduce the spice 
  • Squeeze ½ of lime, add diced onion, jalapeno, and minced garlic into the mortar, lightly using pestle to combine and smash.  
  • Add tomatoes and cilantro, mix but avoid smashing tomatoes. 
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy with a chip!
