chef frank has his own channel, "protocooks with chef frank" though the posts are erratic. chef saul also has a channel "Chef Saúl Montiel" though there's only about 20+ videos and he hasn't posted in about a year. enjoy
Grande Saul, I can’t believe seeing your face on UA-cam by chance after briefly working together at Gusto Restaurant in Greenwich Av in New York City back in 2005/2006! You came a long way my hermano 🎉❤
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate a chef that takes care of his finger nails and cuticles. Bravo! for taking care of yourself. There are so many chefs/cooks on TV and UA-cam that have horrible looking nails and it’s so unappetizing. Oh and thank you for showing us the proper way to make guacamole. 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑
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!
Back in Miami, Mexican food and I had a 'see you later' kind of relationship, more fleeting than a Floridian snowstorm 😂 But now that I saw chef Saúl for first time, I'm rediscovering my love for it once again 🙌
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.
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.
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
I'd love to see two cheffs getting the same random ingredients and they'd have to make dishes out of them. Preferably Chef Saul and Chef Frank. They always have really creative ideas.
This is the best video I've ever seen 😍! He is so professional he shows you how to pick out the ingredients, how to use the knife, how to mix it & why you need to mix it that way.....I love it This is precisely the video needed for everyone looking to do this. I love how specific and strategic he is❤❤.
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.
As a mexican, I confirm that sometimes we just toss the ingredients without smashing them or using molcajete. It's easier but still tasty. Also, I like adding olive oil and black pepper!
I absolutely love the technique of smashing the onions, cilantro and chili in the granite mortar before adding to avocado and tomatoes. I have ordered my own and can't wait to take my guacamole to the next level!
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 :)
This was VERY VERY helpful!! My guacamole is always terrible. Nothing like the authentic restaurants!! I think taking out the seeds in the tomato & adding it last as well as smashing the onions, pepper, cilantro & like to a paste helps TREMENDOUSLY!!!
Love it! Love the practical advice, clear instruction, the tips, the recipe, sounds and looks great, can’t wait to make my own. I cracked up when he dropped the spoon,lol, love his sense of humor!
Gracias, hermano. Feliz Año Nuevo. Soy Puertorriqueño pero me encanta la comida Mexicana. Your videos are easy to follow with enough ingredients for that wow factor. Saludos desde Brooklyn, Nueva York. Cuídese.
I’ve been making guac forever but came across Saul’s version today. I’ve never thought to mash the ingredients before adding the avocado. Gonna follow his method for the Super Bowl this weekend.
I love Mexican cuisine. It's very healthy and tastes great, but just a few fine details carry the flavor of the dish to a perfect authentic one Saul gives those details in these videos. Thank you, Saul.
Saúl is so great. I love finding these videos. I could watch him endlessly. And that cooked Salsa Morita he made in another video has become an absolute staple in our house.
Finally! What a great tutorial on making the best guac. "Why a serrano? Because I'm Mexican." Loved that. Now I have to look up all your other instruction vids because I loved this one so much. Bravo!
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 teaching us, demonstrating. Ole'!
I make guacamole exactly the same way except I never smashed the veggies into a paste but seeing this I’m definitely adding that step. Awesome video Saul thank you!
Yeah it's crazy how much it imparts the flavors when you smash them into a paste like that. Might take a little longer but it's well worth it. My wife hates the texture of raw onion, so I had to do it that way and it turned out I prefer it that way myself!
Love your recipe! I have ordered my mortar and pestle and cannot wait to make my guacamole using your recipe. Don’t like to see chopped onion so can’t wait to grind mine along with my pepper. ❤❤ thanks for your video!
What a fun video to watch and I learned a couple things. I don't have a mortar and pestle, I need to get one. Also, I never put onion in mine but will try it next time I make guacamole.
Just did this yesterday!!! Everything in almost exact same molcajete as you. I use about 4 cloves of garlic and skip the tomatoes. Crushing everything in a molcajete takes the flavor to a whole new level!!!!! I use mine every day!
This guy could read the entire Encyclopedia Britanica and I'd listen with rapt attention. He's such a great communicator and has a really soothing voice.
Saul again with perfect balance between entertaining, charismatic and professional. gotta love him
Should have a full time show about cookin
I’ve never seen him before he’s great
Si
He is xtra charismatic
Yeah feel free to give this chef his own regular daily show, Epicurious 🤓
I would love a show with Chef Saul and Chef Frank. Just those two making food.
chef frank has his own channel, "protocooks with chef frank" though the posts are erratic. chef saul also has a channel "Chef Saúl Montiel" though there's only about 20+ videos and he hasn't posted in about a year. enjoy
Yes!!!🎉🎉🎉
Omg yessss!! I love them two!!
Can Chef John (Food Wishes) join?
@@mavissmith3 The Dad jokes would cause us to implode.
I can't believe I get paid to do this. Love Saul. Love seeing the passion.
What do you do? :)
Probably makes guacamole
@@mikebasketball11that’s what Saul said.
Lol same. Fun to prep
@@mikebasketball11 7:03
Chef Saul's spoon drop is the most wholesome thing to happen in kitchen.
Grande Saul, I can’t believe seeing your face on UA-cam by chance after briefly working together at Gusto Restaurant in Greenwich Av in New York City back in 2005/2006! You came a long way my hermano 🎉❤
SAUL: Mexican Cooking Masterclass WHEN?? I would seriously buy your course.
Can we get more videos of Chef Saul alone like this please!! LOVE IT!
Pureeing the onion and serrano. Brilliant. Once again Saul representing culture and cuisine with pure grace 👑
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate a chef that takes care of his finger nails and cuticles. Bravo! for taking care of yourself. There are so many chefs/cooks on TV and UA-cam that have horrible looking nails and it’s so unappetizing. Oh and thank you for showing us the proper way to make guacamole. 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑
Could you mix the onions and Serrano in a mini food processor?
You said it ! Thought I was the only one to notice the nails 😅
Are there more videos with Saul? If not, there needs to be. I want to see him make mole enchiladas! Yum 🤤
He did two separate videos last year! One for enchiladas and one for chicken mole. They’re on Epicurious as well.
I think he should start his own channel!
@@MichaelOKChe has his own show, didn't you know?
Eres un orgullo, Saúl
Oh yeah. Enchiladas de mole. Mmmmmm
Saul is so lovely and adorable
Where have you been hiding chef Saul. Spoon drop has me hooked. More videos please
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!

Ive followed and executed about a dozen different guacamole recipes ive found online. But none of them have come close to this!
The "turn the page" music when he's going to twist open the avocado. Brought me back to my childhood and my little record player 😂❤️
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.
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.
This is a goat tip, thanks!
Yes and don't skip out on the lime as an ingredient. It's chemicals help the guacamole stay bright green
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
Refrigeration will rob avocado & tomato of flavor & texture. Better to put in brown paper bag to ripen on shelf at room temperature.
Makes no sense to ripen in the cold, also the tomatoes outside the summer are so fake that i doubt they have what to release
As someone getting used to avocados, I love the presentation and explanation of the "whys" in the steps.
I used to not like avocado or cilantro that much until I made guacamole. Lime, cilantro, and avocado really is the perfect combo
Simple and you can actually taste the avocado versus overpowering it with other ingredients
I lived in Mexico as a child - such beautiful, warm-hearted, kind people. All the food we loved there bring back wonderful memories ❤
I'd love to see two cheffs getting the same random ingredients and they'd have to make dishes out of them. Preferably Chef Saul and Chef Frank. They always have really creative ideas.

I love how specific and strategic he is❤❤.
I always put fresh garlic. Surprised to see that's not an ingredient. But I love garlic!
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.
Same
As a mexican, I confirm that sometimes we just toss the ingredients without smashing them or using molcajete. It's easier but still tasty. Also, I like adding olive oil and black pepper!
I like a less creamy guacamole personally so I only lightly mash with a fork which also lets pieces squish through
Gotta admit I toss them in, too, but I’m going to do it his way, I bet it gives a huge boost in flavor!
Chef Saul you are a gift to the world of culinary arts.
Saul has the best personality and humor!
I love how the chef explains small details, thanks chef!
I couldn’t decide which Epicurious episode to watch yesterday😅 I saw Saúl and said yes! 😍
My wonderful husband bought a molcajete for me for Christmas and I can't wait to try this! Thanks for the video!
Please make sure you season your molcajete😭😭
I did. The guacamole and salsa I made turned out great!
I love this guy! Excellent video Thank you for this. I will carry this on for generations to come. Gracias!!
Chef Saul, please start your own UA-cam channel! You are fantastic and I love your recipes.
He does have a youtube channel. But he’s not posted any new video for over a year, he just makes shorts now
Love chef Saul. He’s definitely not boring to watch.
I absolutely love the technique of smashing the onions, cilantro and chili in the granite mortar before adding to avocado and tomatoes. I have ordered my own and can't wait to take my guacamole to the next level!
Guacamole is better with some little chunks. This here is almost a sauce, don't like it.
I lived in Mexico as a child - such beautiful, warm-hearted, kind people. All the food we loved there bring back wonderful memories
Thank you Saúl! Just made my first guacamole watching this vid, and it was amazing, everyone enjoyed it.
Much appreciation!! 🤝🏼
Is there anything better than Saul and Frank? Love these guys.
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 :)
Not surprising. Spain is the only European country with any significant avocado production.
Mexican here. buy the unripe 2 days before preparation let the avocado out of the frigde. Gonna be on point for guacamole.
Sad!
Yeah, like if you want to make black mole? Forget about it. Lots of things are like impossible to find or really expensive.
Saul is truly a gem of a human
This was VERY VERY helpful!! My guacamole is always terrible. Nothing like the authentic restaurants!! I think taking out the seeds in the tomato & adding it last as well as smashing the onions, pepper, cilantro & like to a paste helps TREMENDOUSLY!!!

Yo también
🌺 Aloha Saul, I love the way you explained it! 🥑🥑🥑 Mahalo (Thank you) for sharing your vlog!
I think we can all feel your love for food Saul!!! This video makes food lovers so happy :) Thank you for a great recipe!
I learned something new today. Thanks.
Oh my goodness! I LOVE Guacamole 🥑🌶💚🍅
I could eat Guacamole every day 😋👌
“This makes me happy” made ME happy
Guys lets show Saul how big fanbase he have
Why you don’t have more hits is beyond me. Wonderful step by step instructions n mouth watering recipe. 🥰thank you!!❤️
That's a beautiful, entertaining and informative video!
I can watch this over and over again. Saul’s guacamole is on point. I love the spoon drop :)
I Love Guacamole! 🥑 I’m in El Paso Texas so I always have amazing Avocados 🥑

“Because Im a professional!” I love it. Had me crackin’ up! You go boy!
I love Mexican cuisine. It's very healthy and tastes great, but just a few fine details carry the flavor of the dish to a perfect authentic one Saul gives those details in these videos. Thank you, Saul.

I was raised in S. Texas and we pronounced it just like you do (wah-ca-molay). I get kidded by folks who think it has a hard “G”.
Chef Saúl is so funny😂. Love it !
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 teaching us, demonstrating.
Ole'!
I make guacamole exactly the same way except I never smashed the veggies into a paste but seeing this I’m definitely adding that step. Awesome video Saul thank you!
Yeah it's crazy how much it imparts the flavors when you smash them into a paste like that. Might take a little longer but it's well worth it. My wife hates the texture of raw onion, so I had to do it that way and it turned out I prefer it that way myself!
Huge fan of Saul! More Saul! Perfect accent, cooking!
I always thought Guacamole had garlic in the recipe!!
Thanks for a great video.
Love your recipe! I have ordered my mortar and pestle and cannot wait to make my guacamole using your recipe. Don’t like to see chopped onion so can’t wait to grind mine along with my pepper. ❤❤ thanks for your video!
GRACIAS AMIGO 🤗 Vivo en California y soy de Pajacuaran Mich. 😁
I see Saul I click
Literally my thought process lol
the spoon drop! this was awesome
What a fun video to watch and I learned a couple things. I don't have a mortar and pestle, I need to get one. Also, I never put onion in mine but will try it next time I make guacamole.
Love the chef!!
I would watch a full on cooking show with Saul.
Saul your personality is perfect for this gig
Just found him and this channel. Already love his recipes and the way he shows how to make them! Awesome!
Better Call Saul ! love this chef !!
So happy to see Chef Saul again!
Chef is a very funny guy! I've never seen anyone mash the vegies first; I love that technique. Thank you!!
Saul is by far the most incredible chef presenter on UA-cam!
I could watch saul every day! this guy is awesome!
Epicurious as the absolute best lineup of chefs.
Just did this yesterday!!! Everything in almost exact same molcajete as you. I use about 4 cloves of garlic and skip the tomatoes. Crushing everything in a molcajete takes the flavor to a whole new level!!!!! I use mine every day!
Adding one clove of garlic to the grinding mixture, made it even more perfect
As soon as you got the lime out, I knew this is a recipe I'll love!
his humor is tremendous !!! 😁
Well done, great looking Guacamole and enjoyable video! Thank You
Now I need a mocajelte because this looks amazing. SAUL FOR THE WIN! ❤
Molcajete is a game changer for guacamole - imparts so much more flavor all throughout the guacamole... I won't make guac without it
I love the spoon drop! It’s the chef equivalent of a speaker’s mic drop!
Muy buena receta mi querido chef gordote. Me dieron hasta ganas de acompan~arlo con un blanco heladito.
Excellent your presentation was great
Spoon drop!😂 I love this guy!
Saul's videos are the best!!!!
This guy could read the entire Encyclopedia Britanica and I'd listen with rapt attention. He's such a great communicator and has a really soothing voice.
You are a great teacher and an amazing Chef ❤
My mouth is watering!!! Thank you!!
I followed this channel just to see Saúl. Más Saúl, por favor!
i NEED SAUL TO TEACH ME EVERYTHING 👑👑
one of the best guacamole guide
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.
XXOO❤️🇺🇸💙
Need more of this guy!!
Saul, you are the best because you do it with your heart.
Love learning new things in the kitchen
