How to make Mexican Style Guacamole - Classic Guacamole Recipe

  If you like avocados, you'll absolutely love this recipe for guacamole. It'll surely be your family go to recipe, especially for parties, or a nice snack. This is one recipe I've tweaked over the ages, and can be prepared two ways. Either, as the Aztecs did traditionally, many moons ago, or the authentic Mexican way.

For this you'll need:
                               Avocados
                               Cilantro
                               White Onion
                               Green Chilies
                               Lime
                               White Vinegar
                               Salt
                               Pepper
                               Tomato (seeds removed)
                               Garlic Clove (crushed)

With the aforementioned recipe, you'll want to get the avocado as smooth as possible, but where it's also rather chunky. This can be tricky, as you won't want big pieces of avocado while you're eating this with chips. Trust me! First, go ahead, and remove the seeds from the avocados after cutting them open. Next, you'll want to cut them in cubes, using a parring knife then, transfer into your prep bowl, and set aside. Now, dice the tomato, chilies, onion, cilantro, and garlic, then add to the avocado mixture. Give it a good mash, and stir vigorously. Next, add a splash of white vinegar, and the juice of one lime, or to taste. I like mine very tangy, you may, or may not like it the same, which is why I've left the amounts out for you to decide just how much to put in. If it ends up being too salty? Here's a pro tip! You may add a half teaspoon of water to take the salt out and round out the flavor.

...and now, it's time to honor the ancient Aztecs with the classic style:
For this you'll need: Avocado
                                 Lime
                                 Salt
                                Pepper
                                Tomato
                                Cilantro

Make sure to cut around the avocado seed first. You'll be able to feel it along your knife. Next twist off the top, remove the seed, and transfer the seedless avocados to a mixing bowl. Next, give it a quick mash, and add in the diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and lime juice, then, mix, and add the salt and pepper, to taste.

Now, for some tips on picking a ripe avocado! Yep! We're not done quite yet! The easiest way to do this is, to take off the end where the stem was, and remove the button, you'll notice it either brown, or green underneath, if the avocado still feels hard, it means that it is not ripe. However, if you feel the avocado with your hand, and feel it give just slightly? You're in luck! It is ripe for the taking! What to do if you haven't found any ripened avocados but, you're still hard up for making guacamole, or avocado toast? Well, okay! Buy the unriped avocados, bring them home, and place them into a brown paper back for 2-3 days. This will speed up the ripening process! I know right? Only you blog readers will know this one, because it's not even in the video recipe! I hope you've enjoyed my take on how to make guacamole, both the Aztec way, and the Mexican style condiment. Enjoy it with chips, spread it on toast, or have it with chicken in a sandwich like I do! Anyway you like it, it's up to you!
See you in the next video recipe!

Italian Recipe - Trottole Pasta with Pancetta and Zucchini - Food Cravings

   Are you ready for another authentic Italian recipe that's based around pasta, and of course, bacon? Did someone say:"bacon?" Yep! You guessed it! This isn't just any bacon. This recipe uses Pancetta, and the difference between Pancetta and, bacon is that Pancetta isn't smoked like bacon is! This dish was inspired by Penne, but I decided to put my twist on it, and used Trottole instead.
