I'll show you how to make the best
0:07
guacamole of your life
0:08
and good guacamole starts with one thing
0:11
good avocado when you go to the
0:13
supermarket you're going to see a whole
0:15
bunch of avocados the thing is you are
0:17
always taught to pick an avocado and
0:19
press it so you have to imagine that
0:21
everybody that's been in that
0:22
Supermarket is grabbed an avocado and
0:24
has pressed it so you want to reach in
0:25
the back where you might find one that
0:28
hasn't been pressed second thing is you
0:30
want to look for a dark color these are
0:32
has avocados which will always be like
0:34
that that bumpy kind of skin and they as
0:37
they ripen they get dark so you want to
0:39
look for something that's kind of on the
0:40
dark side next you want to pick a heavy
0:42
avocado heavy is nice and creamy Lush
0:45
and ripe and you're going to press it
0:47
and it's going to feel kind of like soft
0:50
butter and it doesn't really bounce back
0:53
it gives way once you find that you're
0:56
going to shop for a little more avocados
0:57
than you would expect to buy same
0:59
meaning if you're going to use two by
1:01
three if you're going to use three by
1:02
four this is going to be one in there
1:04
that's just gonna not be good that's the
1:06
way I always shop take them home you're
1:08
going to place them down on a cutting
1:10
board get a sharp knife and you're
1:13
simply going to cut I always start from
1:15
the top of the avocado you want to move
1:17
the avocado not the knife that will
1:19
ensure that
1:21
right across the middle of the avocado
1:23
you take it
1:25
and then you twist it you should have a
1:26
perfect avocado
1:28
you take your knife itself and let the
1:30
weight of the knife actually just sink
1:32
into the seed and twist
1:34
you should have a perfect avocado
1:36
keep your knife
1:38
the seat on the side and you take a big
1:41
bowl
1:43
a nice spoon
1:44
you want to just normally what I end up
1:46
doing is I just cut a little bit of
1:48
avocado it helps it when you mash it up
1:50
later
1:51
and I cut it
1:53
and literally just scoop it out
1:58
the first thing you want to do is add a
1:59
little bit of lime juice only for
2:00
seasoning
2:01
but it actually does help with the
2:03
oxidation process
2:04
prevents it from getting dark
2:06
you mash it up
2:12
you go now to make the guacamole I love
2:15
a little bit of onion in my guacamole my
2:17
girlfriend doesn't like it but I just
2:19
cut it up really really small it's good
2:20
old for your kids if you're if you're
2:22
making it they don't like onions cut it
2:23
really small because it has a nice
2:24
complexity Crunch and Spice
2:27
I like Spice in the guacamole when you
2:29
go with spice for guacamole especially
2:30
you want to go for a green chili I like
2:32
jalapenos
2:37
some tomato
2:38
the trick here is to use fresh tomato
2:41
and you're always going to get a little
2:42
bit of water try to not use the water so
2:44
much if you squeeze it out that's even
2:46
better if you don't want a Water Rehab
2:47
guacamole
2:49
now welcome only wouldn't be guacamole
2:51
with that lots of cilantro so we have
2:52
some cilantro chopped up here
2:55
next a little bit of garlic now this is
2:58
more of a seasoning than it really is
3:00
is a textural element you don't want a
3:02
big chunk of raw garlic in your mouth
3:04
but it adds like this nice depth and
3:05
again a little bit of spice
3:08
a little hot sauce
3:09
[Music]
3:12
now this is what makes my guacamole a
3:14
little different and it really is a
3:17
it's a great way to use fruits that you
3:18
have in the house guacamole goes really
3:19
well with any kind of fruit in Mexico
3:21
they make because they make guacamole
3:23
with a lot of pomegranates or pineapple
3:25
we're in America baby so we use Granny
3:28
Smith apples
3:30
it's a nice like a sweet little crunch
3:32
all the avocado and the creaminess I'm
3:34
gonna mix this up just a tiny bit to get
3:36
things going
3:38
I have a lot of flavorful ingredients
3:40
here but you have to season it so we
3:42
have a little bit of black pepper
3:45
salt
3:47
and then the star of the show what
3:48
really differentiates my guacamole from
3:50
any guacamole is human
3:52
human now cumin adds this authenticity
3:54
and this kind of smokiness is what is
3:57
that kind of quality to the guacamole
3:59
that are going to make all your friends
4:00
ask for your recipe
4:05
switch to a bigger spoon
4:07
mush everything together much better
4:10
so festive what's the cool thing about
4:12
guacamole it's festive is fun everybody
4:14
loves it
4:16
once you have your guacamole we're going
4:18
to finish it off with some nice fresh
4:20
leaves or that same cilantro
4:23
four
4:26
as a final touch
4:28
I like the seed perfect guacamole
4:30
perfect for any time of the day snack
4:35
let's have some chips
4:37
[Music]
4:41
