Guacamole

This recipe is taken from a bunch of FoodNetwork chefs. I think we have about 2 parts Tyler Florence, 2 parts Bobby Flay, and 1 part Rachel Ray.

Ingredients

  • 2 avocados, scooped out of the rind and chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced and combined with chopped avocados
  • 1/2 garlic clover, minced
  • 1/2 tomato
Mix ingredients. Chill.

Thoughts: This was not a shining moment. The red onion was far too strong, as was the lime juice. The tomato probably should have been a roma tomato, or no tomato at all. After a few days, the guacamole got kind of brown anyways. Maybe I would have used yellow onion rather than red onion? Furthermore, we didn't ever add cilantro, which was a huge mistake. Even after adding a third avocado, the lime juice was far too strong. Maybe cut the lime juice in half while adding another avocado.

Disaster Index: 6-7/10 - Needs work. I wouldn't eat it again.
