Sheri's Guacamole
from Sheri, 10/8/02:
Sheri's Guacamole:
-1 huge PR avocado or 4-5 small ones-spooned into a large plastic bowl
-1 huge vine ripened tomato or 2-3 VR romas- chopped finely
-1 med. Spanish white onion or any sweet one- chopped finely. Sometimes I use a sweet red onion.
-1 bunch cilantro-chopped finely or if you are in PR, Culantro
-1 fresh jalapeno pepper halved and sliced thinly with seeds (or without seeds if you can't stand the heat (g)
(wash your hands right after or you'll be sorry)
or a shake or two of red pepper flakes
-opt: 1/2 a fresh green, red and/or yellow bell pepper chopped finely
Toss all in a bowl -loosely mash/stir together and squeeze 1/2 a fresh lime over all (lemon works, too).
That's it. I like mine chunky, so I don't mash it too much.
I love it served as a topper with sauteed fresh ocean snapper fillets that have been dredged, then breaded in a 50/50 mixture of flour and ground hazelnut crumbs!
That is a perfect example of Caribbean cooking.
