INSPIRED AVOCADO GUACAMOLE W. POMEGRANATE & PEARS



Inspired Avocado Guacamole W. Pomegranate & Pears image

This recipe originates from Gourmet & is really something special. I serve this every year for Rosh Hashana as an appetiser along with my challahs as pomegranate seeds are symbolically very significant. Very different from what you may be used to but oh so delicious!(prep time includes 1 hour in frig.)

Categories     Low Protein

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup white onion, finely chopped
3 -4 serrano chilies, including seeds, finely chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 lbs ripe avocados (reserve 1 avocado pit)
2 -3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3/4 cup peeled pear, finely diced
3/4 cup halved seedless grapes
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

Steps:

  • Mash onion, chiles& salt to a rough paste.
  • Gradually add pulp from the avocadoes, coarsly mashing it.
  • You want it to be chunky.
  • Stir in lime juice.
  • Fold in pear& grapes& then 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour placing avocado pit in the middle of the mixture so it retains its color.
  • Remove pit.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup more seeds over the guacamole& serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe pomegranates: Look for pomegranates that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color. The arils should be plump and juicy.
  • Choose fresh avocados: Avocados should be ripe but not too soft. They should yield to gentle pressure when pressed.
  • Add some heat: If you like your guacamole spicy, add a chopped jalapeño pepper or some cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Use fresh cilantro: Cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to guacamole. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't over-mix the guacamole: Guacamole is best when it is slightly chunky. Over-mixing will make it smooth and pasty.

Conclusion:

Pomegranate guacamole is a delicious and refreshing dip that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful snack or appetizer, give pomegranate guacamole a try. You won't be disappointed!
