Secret Ingredient Guacamole

I wanted to call this Methuselah Guacamole because it has a secret ingredient that gives it extra long life, but that doesn't sound too appetizing, which this definitely is. It tends toward the salty, but deliciously savory. I often have to restrain myself with the salt.

There are no raw tomatoes because we can't have them yet, but you could chop some up and throw them in. Here's a picture of the latest batch. It's pureed smooth because that is how Little Moo likes it, although it's just as good blended with a ricer and nice, chunky bits of onion and cilantro.

Secret Ingredient Guacamole

3 large ripe avocados
1/3 or so cup cilantro leaves, chopped
1/4 white onion, chopped
1/8 tsp ground cumin or seed, toasted and cracked
3/4-1 tsp sea salt
juice of 1 lime

and...wait for it!

1 clove of fermented garlic, chopped fine (tasty and keeps it tasty for a while - none of this three-days-and-it's-compost guac.)

(Also, if you substitute a teaspoon or so of sauerkraut brine for the salt, not only will you have yummy results, but the guacamole will last for a really long time!)

Chunky version

Blend the avocados with a fork or ricer, add cilantro, onion, cumin, sea salt and lime. Finish with adding the garlic. Yum.

Smooth version (You don't even have to chop anything!)

In a blender, add all the ingredients, with the cilantro, garlic and onion on the bottom. Blend well.

Guacamole salad

Chop some celery and/or cucumbers and/or watercress, blend into the guacamole and serve on the side

Guacamole salad dressing

Drop a dollop of guacamole on top of green salad with vinaigrette. Blend well.
