Description
I am sure that you know how to make guacamole. However, I’m not so sure if you’ve tried it with pomegranate seeds and, trust me, it is worth trying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe Haas avocado
- the juice of 1 lime
- 3 tbsp finely chopped white onion
- a handful of fresh cilantro, finely chopped*
- 1 tbsp of minced jalapeno chile, or to taste, or a sprinkling of dried red chile flakes
- a large pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds, plus more for garnish
- *It pains me to write that the cilantro is optional, but I usually approach recipes with the mindset that all ingredients are optional. A recipe is a set of guidelines as opposed to a set of rules. I personally cannot imagine guacamole without cilantro, but I do recognize that sadly there are some people (such as my own sister) who consider cilantro to be about as edible and as delicious as dish soap.
Instructions
- Halve and pit the avocado and then mash it with a fork in a bowl or with a mortar and pestle. Add the lime juice, onion, cilantro, chile and sea salt and then mix well. Once everything is mixed, stir in the pomegranate seeds until incorporated.
- Serve right away, garnished with more pomegranate seeds and cilantro, and with banana or plantain chips, yuca or other root vegetable chips, or good ol’ tortilla chips.
