History of Mexican Avocado Sauce

Centuries ago, avocados were considered inedible. However, the brave Mayan princess still dared to try the fruit, for which she was rewarded with enlightenment, eternal youth, and beautiful children. So says an ancient legend, the veracity of which only time knows. However, now this is no longer so important, because the avocado has firmly entered many cuisines of the peoples of the world and does not cease to be one of the leaders in terms of benefits among many other fruits.

Avocado has been recognized as the most nutritious fruit in the world. On September 25, 1988, the corresponding information was entered into the Guinness Book of Records.

Who came up with the idea to cook wonderful guacamole from this wonderful fruit? The name of the sauce comes from the Aztec words "ahuacatl" (avocado) and "molli" (sauce), so there is an opinion that it was this Indian people who came up with the recipe, which is still a success today. According to other written sources, the first information about guacamole is found in English and Spanish written memos that date back to the beginning of the 20th century. Either way, the sauce has a history, with roots going back to traditional Mexican cuisine.

What is it made from and served with?

In addition to the main ingredient - avocado, the essential components of the simplest guacamole are lime (or lemon) juice and salt (ideally sea salt).

However, taking into account the fact that all recipes are subject to changes and additions on the part of chefs, you can find options with the addition of hot and / or bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs (most often cilantro), various seasonings. A frequent ingredient in the dish is olive oil, less often mayonnaise can be found in recipes.

Do not be surprised that on culinary sites there are recipes for exotic dishes with the addition of fruits, cheese, meat, fish and seafood. Everyone cooks this dish to their taste!

Traditionally, the sauce is served with Mexican corn tortillas - tortillas.. In addition, guacamole is good with bread, plain or thin pita bread, crackers and any chips, with toast.

It should also be prepared as a side dish for meat and fish dishes, or as a salad for pasta and potatoes: to do this, simply cut the components indicated in the recipe larger and do not puree the dish.

Recipe by Jamie Oliver

The world-famous culinary specialist Jamie Oliver did not ignore the exotic sauce. Its cooking option can be found on the "tasty" pages of many peoples of the world. The components of the sauce are not much different from other options, but the “naked chef” suggests mashing the pulp of the avocado with a blender, rather than mashing it by hand.

You will need the following ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados;
• 5-6 cherry tomatoes;
• 1-2 limes;
• 2 stalks of green onions;
• 1 small chili;
• a few sprigs of fresh cilantro;
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil;
• salt and black ground pepper to taste.

Cooking:

1. Place a few sprigs of fresh cilantro, a couple of stalks of green onions, and a small chile pod (de-seeded) into the bowl of a blender or food processor. Grind food using the average speed of the device.
   

   Chop cilantro, green onion and chilli

2. Remove the pits from the avocado. Jamie Oliver suggests doing this by removing the petiole of the fruit and pressing hard on it so that the pulp slides out of the shell. However, it is worth noting that this option is only suitable for very ripe fruits. If the avocado is hard, you can simply cut it in half, remove the pits with a spoon or knife, and then separate the flesh from the peel in a more familiar way.
   

   The next step is to peel and pit the avocado.

3. Transfer the avocado and cherry tomatoes to the blender bowl, mix again at low speed.
   

   Pour in the lime juice

4. Season the guacamole with salt and ground black pepper to taste, mix again, transfer to a clean container and serve. Oliver suggests serving guacamole with lightly grilled tortillas and fresh vegetables.

Avocado pulp is rubbed through a sieve or grater, seasoned with lemon juice. Only then garlic is added to it. A few minutes before serving, two ingredients are mixed: avocado and sour cream with cucumbers. If you combine them at once, the sauce will turn out watery. And this will significantly affect its taste. The sauce prepared according to this recipe goes well with all dishes: fish, meat, side dishes. Often it is used instead of butter, spreading on sandwiches. Also, such a sauce can be added to the ingredients for snacks in the form of tartlets.
