Guasacaca image

Time 10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium onion, roughly chopped
2 green bell peppers, seeded deveined and roughly chopped
3 ripe avocados, peeled and seeded
2 large garlic cloves
1/2 bunch fresh flat leaf parsley
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup olive oil
2 red bell peppers (optional)
2 ripe plum tomatoes (optional) or 2 roma tomatoes (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine everything except olive oil in food processor. Process until mostly smooth. Continue processing while adding olive oil in a steady stream, until fully emulsified and smooth.
  • Scrape into a serving bowl and let stand at room temperature 1 hour to allow flavors to blend. Serve over grilled meats, fish or vegetables, or with chips. Store in refrigerator, but bring to room temperature before serving.
  • To use as a dip, I recommend adding finely diced red bell pepper and tomato for texture. Remove tops and bottoms from two red bell peppers. Cut into 3 or 4 planks by cutting alongside the ribs; discard the ribs and seeds. Cut into 1/8" julienne, then cut across into 1/8" dice (this very fine dice is called brunoise). Remove the seeds, jelly and internal ribs from two ripe Roma tomatoes using a grapefruit spoon. Repeat the brunoise procedure. Stir the diced red pepper and diced tomato into the guascaca.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll stick to buying pre-made guasacaca in the future.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but I still really enjoyed this recipe. The other flavors really balanced out the cilantro and made it very palatable.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra ingredients to really make it my own. I usually add some chopped tomatoes, diced jalapeƱos, and a pinch of cumin.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my guasacaca turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much lime juice.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste, and the texture was a bit too chunky.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.
