    Saúl rocks!!! almost as much as Guacamole itself! and this Guacamole is legit.
    Mexican here, Chefs don´t give you this tip, we never slice our hands because we remove the pit and cut the avocado with regular table butter knives, want to cut it while in the shell, also butter knife or a spoon... never cut yourself, no issue at all ever!

    @rival-slays 11 місяців тому +4

    As a salsa snob and a Hispanic person, it’s so nice to see a proper guacamole recipe on UA-cam. Seems like everything I’ve watched adds stuff like garlic or cumin or who knows what else that does not belong in guacamole.

  • @jacobrogers2214
    @jacobrogers2214 11 місяців тому +113

    Quick tip. Place the avocados in a sealed gallon-sized ziplock bag along with a tomato and store them in the refrigerator for approximately one to two days to ripen them.
    The tomato releases ethylene gas, which ripens the avocados. The refrigeration helps maintain the avocados' freshness while they ripen.

      Yes and don't skip out on the lime as an ingredient. It's chemicals help the guacamole stay bright green

    • @zlatan
      @zlatan 10 місяців тому

      also the seed of the avocado when placed in the guacamole GREATLY increases the time for the avocado/guacamole to go dark. I thought chef saul was going to mention this. This is useful info if you want to store the guacamole in the fridge @@Kyle-nm1kh

    • @Cynthia-s2p
      @Cynthia-s2p 10 місяців тому +15

      Refrigeration will rob avocado & tomato of flavor & texture. Better to put in brown paper bag to ripen on shelf at room temperature.

  • @kevinwhite6176
    @kevinwhite6176 11 місяців тому +96

    while I've known you traditionally use a molcajete to make guacamole I didn't realize you wanted to crush the cilantro and onions and garlic in there like that! I always just toss them in. (I always use garlic.) Also, I find that when just using a bowl, a squiggly potato masher works wonders for quickly mashing everything up. The wire mashes and the gaps let pieces come through.

    • @Kyle-nm1kh
      @Kyle-nm1kh 11 місяців тому +2

    In Northern Europe we don't have a chance to replicate Mexican food properly. Our chillies barely have names (other than jalapeno), and our avocados are all either unripe or overripe - there is no inbetween! Our supermarkets mix a tiny amount of avocado with an amazing amount of mayonnaise, and call it guacamole. We really need to up our game :)

    Loved your version, almost identical to mine. I even slice/dice the avocado the same way, in the shell. But I use a roasted Anaheim pepper, peeled for the sake of mildness and the tender taste buds of friends. In my bowl only I'll finely crumble a chile tepin because I like the flavor and heat.
    Next batch I'm going to try the crumbled cheese. That looks perfect!

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I absolutely love guacamole and could eat it everyday. I plan on making a triple batch just for myself.
