Guacamole recipe - I just Love it!

Guacamole recipe makes it the best way to bring the amazing taste of Avocado to your table.

There are many advantages to the Guacamole recipe: it takes minutes to prepare, it’s much healthier than most dips and the taste is amazing.
It’s so good that I’ll try to add more Guacamole Recipe soon.

As with many other dips, Guacamole is best when served fresh, and as the Guacamole recipe is so easy to make, try to make it just before serving.

Guacamole will keep for several days in the refrigerator, but you must make sure to have it wrapped as tightly as possible, and have a dash on lemon on it to keep it from turning brown.
Having a good Guacamole recipe is a good start, but the presentation is always very important, so you don’t want to serve a brown Guacamole…

Guacamole recipe Ingredients:

• 3 Avocados

• 1 Medium Red Onion

• 3 Plum Tomatoes

• 2 Jalapeño Pepper

• 1 wedge of Lemon

• 1 Tbsp of Cilantro

• 1 Tsp of Salt

Guacamole Recipe Directions:

• Chop the Red Onion into small pieces and put it in a large bowl
• Remove the core of the Plum Tomatoes and through it
• Chop the rest of the Tomatoes into small pieces and add to the bowl with the red onion
• Chop the Jalapeño peppers and add them to the bowl (As the Jalapeño Peppers are very hot, you might want to slice them in half and remove the seeds before chopping it)
• Slice the Avocados in half, remove the avocado from the skin and add the avocados to bowl (If you remove the skin with care, you can use it for serving the Guacamole in it)
• Using a fork and spoon, mash and mix all of the ingredients that are in the bowl together
• Add Salt and Cilantro to the bowl and mix it
• Cut a wedge out of the lemon, squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl and mix (In addition to the flavor, the lemon juice keeps the Guacamole from turning brown)

That’s it – your Guacamole recipe is finished and ready to serve.

Here’s a picture of serving the Guacamole using the Avocado’s skin.

Please note that due to the Jalapeño Peppers this Guacamole recipe can be a little hot, so taste it and add Avocado if needed.

I hope you find this Guacamole recipe useful and more important – try it and enjoy it!

How to cook Asparagus

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables.
Apart from being tasty and easy to make, Asparagus is a natural diuretic, a heart-healthy food, containing no fat, cholesterol or sodium

There are many different easy and tasty ways to cook Asparagus, but first you should choose the right Asparagus.

How to select the right Asparagus

Before you learn How to Cook Asparagus, make sure to pick the right spears.
The key is to select straight, firm, uniformly sized spears with closed tips. (The spears being of uniform size ensure even cooking). The end cut should be moist, not dry.
You shouldn’t be bothered with the Asparagus thickness, as Asparagus with fat spears are just as tasty as those with thin spears.
As asparagus deteriorates rapidly, it’s important to select bundles that are refrigerated.

A few tips before moving to How to Cook Asparagus

• Asparagus should be used within two or three days of purchase, the fresher the Asparagus is, the better
• If you do need to keep the Asparagus for a day or two, you should place the spears upright in a bowl or a small vase filled with cold water
• Another storing option is to wrap the ends of the spears in a damp paper towel and refrigerate them
• Avoid cooking asparagus in an iron pot, as it would alter the Asparagus’ color
• If the asparagus is particularly tough or old, remove the skin from the stalk with a vegetable peeler
• Once cooked the Asparagus should be kept warm or in room temperature,  as refrigeration dulls the flavor

So, How to cook Asparagus

Generally speaking, you don’t even need a recipe for Asparagus.
You just steam, boil or grill it, add butter, salt and pepper and you’re done!It really is that easy, but there are some steps you should follow:

1. Soak the asparagus in cold water for several minutes. Swish it to remove dirt and grit
2. Cut off the hard woody ends of the Asparagus.
   The tip of the asparagus is very tender, but the further down you go on the stalk, the tougher it gets
3. Set aside the discarded stems, they can be cooked and pureed for sauces and soups
4. When boiling, tie the asparagus in bundles (this makes them easy to remove all at once) and immerse in boiling, salted water.
   Blanch for about 10 minutes, or just until tender
5. If using an asparagus cooker or tall pot, tie and stand the asparagus upright with the spears above water, then cover and cook just until the stalks are tender but still firm
6. If you’re using the microwave for cooking the Asparagus, arrange the spears in a round baking dish with the tips toward the center. Add 2 tablespoons of water.
   Cover and cook on HIGH (100% power) for 8 minutes or until crisp-tender, rotating the dish a half turn after about 4 minutes
7. When the asparagus is perfect, transfer it with tongs to a bowl of ice water. 
   This stops the cooking and sets the bright green color

Asparagus is best eaten on the same day as cooked, but will keep for another day, losing only a little of its flavor and texture in the refrigerator.
