Rebecca's Guacamole
Ingredients:
- 2 avocado's (rich in oleic fat, a healthy monounsaturated fat, vitamin A and Vitamin k)
- 1/4 chopped red onion
- 2 chopped cloves garlic
- 1/4 bunch fresh cilanto, finely chopped
- salt
- cumin powder or seeds
- a little chopped tomato
- lime juice
- a little olive oil
Method
- add all ingredients together and mash with fork, so quick and simple makes a great light lunch or snack. Or of course good as a starter or for parties.
We had this for lunch, Jasmine ate a little mashed avocado with a cheese sandwich. Avocado makes a great first baby food, as when ripe it mash's very well and its rich in vitamins and healthy fats.
My mother in law loved this as she's on a very strict diet for religious reasons (Brahma kumari) and doesn't eat in restaurants. We made a little spice blend with salt, chili powder (she's Indian!), cumin powder and coriander powder (another name for cilantro!), then we simply mashed with a ripe avocado in the hotel room!
Luckily for me I have no dietary restrictions as a Christian, and little Jasmine is free to try anything she wants.
and lastly this was what my hubby made for breakfast it looked so good and colorful I just had to take a picture, fellow foodies you know how that goes!
Bacon, yellow grits, tomato, onion and green pepper
An Indian eating grits we live in the South, love it.
Have a wonderful weekend love ya

Yum! I love guacamole, too, and this recipe is different than mine, just different enough that I need to try it! I love the flavors added!
ReplyDeleteA stupid question perhaps but bear with me, I'm English ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat are grits? It looks kind of like scrambled egg, or perhaps some kind of potato?
I'll have to try guacamole again - only had it once before but I'm not really an avocado fan. Perhaps I'll add a bit more onion and tomato. The cumin sounds nice, one of my favourite spices :)
Wow! A nice and healthy breakfast!
ReplyDeleteJamie: thanks
ReplyDeleteLouise: no need to so sorry i am also a Brit and didn't know what grits were before living in America, its cornmeal, like a coarse porridge
