Ingredientes

  • 0,5 small spring onion

  • 0,25 red bell pepper

  • 2 ripe avocados

  • 2 pinches salt

  • 50 g fried ground almonds

  • 0,5 lime (juice)

Pasos

  • Chop the onion and red bell pepper into small cubes (brunoise). Reserve on cutting board.
  • Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and flesh. Place the pulp in a deep bowl.
  • Avocado mashing
  • With a fork, mash the avocado pulp in the bowl until you reach a consistency you like, I like to leave some chunks.
  • Incorporate all ingredients
  • Add the lime juice to the avocado puree and mix well.
  • Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, ground almonds and pinch of salt to the bowl.
  • Mix everything carefully until the ingredients are completely integrated and the guacamole looks great.

Notas

  • Using avocados that are at the right point of ripeness is crucial. A ripe but firm avocado will make it easier to obtain the perfect texture for guacamole, creamy but with body.
  • When mashing the avocado, consider mashing it to a texture that still has small chunks rather than a completely smooth puree. This adds textural interest and makes each bite slightly different.
  • For those who enjoy more layers of flavor, consider incorporating some chopped fresh cilantro or even a touch of jalapeño bell pepper for added heat. The balance of creamy, crunchy, and spicy makes the guacamole exceptionally enjoyable.
  • Consider serving the guacamole in a stone bowl (molcajete) if you have one, as this can keep the guacamole fresh longer and adds an authentic touch to the presentation. Garnish with a lime wedge and a few cilantro leaves for an eye-catching finish.

  • If you have leftover guacamole or need to prepare it in advance, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole before covering and refrigerating. This helps minimize contact with air and reduces oxidation.

Key points of the recipe

  1. Choice of avocados: Make sure the avocados are ripe but firm, so that they are easy to mash and provide the ideal creaminess to the guacamole.
  2. Integration of ingredients: Mix the mashed avocado well with the lime juice first to prevent oxidation, then add the chopped vegetables and ground almonds to maintain a balanced texture and flavor.
  3. Customization of flavor: Consider adjusting the amount of salt to taste and do not hesitate to add hot paprika if you prefer a version with a spicy touch.

Pairing with wine

For Guacamole with Red Pepper, the optimal pairing would be with a slightly fruity white wine with moderate acidity. The wines that best meet these characteristics are Sauvignon Blanc, especially those from cooler climates such as New Zealand or parts of Chile and France. The reason behind this choice lies in the wine’s ability to complement the creaminess of the avocado and balance the acidity of the lime juice, without overpowering the delicate flavors of the red bell pepper and onion.

Sauvignon Blanc, on the other hand, tends to have herbal and citrus notes that can enhance the fresh ingredients of this guacamole, such as the hint of lime and the chopped vegetables. In addition, its light to medium body would not overload the lightness of the appetizer, preserving the refreshing sensation of the dish. A fresh, light to medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc is a safe choice that will complement the freshness and varied flavors of the Guacamole with Red Pepper, creating a balanced and enjoyable dining experience.

It is important to avoid pairings with very sweet or very robust wines, such as full-bodied reserve reds or sweet whites. These can be too dominant and end up overshadowing the subtle flavors of the guacamole, or in the case of the sweet ones, create an unpleasant contrast with the saltiness and spicy touches of the dish.

Beer pairing

This guacamole with red bell pepper would pair well with a Pale Ale or an IPA (Indian Pale Ale). The reason for this is that the flavors and creaminess of the guacamole, particularly the avocado, the freshness of the red bell pepper, and the subtle acidity of the lime juice, need a beer that has both character to complement and balance not to overpower.

Pale Ales and IPAs are known for their balance between malt and hops, offering an interesting contrast to guacamole. The moderate bitterness and citrus flavors of IPAs can complement and enhance the fresh flavors of red bell pepper and the acidity of lime, while their medium body will not overshadow the creamy texture of guacamole.

I would avoid pairing this guacamole with very dark or malty beers such as Stout or Porter, as they could be too robust and overshadow the subtleties of the dish. Also, very light beers such as lagers would not offer enough contrast or interest to complement the rich flavors and textures of guacamole.

Careful!
