Cumin At Ya Guacamole
Party size, not competition size
3 avocados
Roasted garlic from 1 large bulb of garlic (recipe below)
1 cup diced sweet onion
1 cup diced red bell pepper
3-5 jalapenos, minced (if you don’t want that much spice, remove the ribs and the seeds, or lower the number of peppers)
the juice of 4 limes
1 Tablespoon salt
1 -2 teaspoon cumin
Slice and dice the avocados (I am anti-mash), immediately add the lime juice to prevent browning, add mix together all other ingredients, combine gently with the avocado, adjust jalapeno, salt, lime, and cumin to taste, let flavors meld for 2-3 hours before serving. Cover tightly with saran wrap touching the surface of the guac to preserve the color and present oxidation.
To roast garlic:
Take a full bulb of garlic, and cut the top off so that all the cloves are exposed. Place on a sheet of tin foil, splash with olive oil and salt. Wrap up the tin foil into a bulb-shape, so that all the moisture escapes out of the twist in the top. Put in a 400 oven for 30-45 minutes. Wait until cool, unwrap, and squeeze the explosed cloves out of the bulb. Mash together with a fork.
