Only three posts in on my 'bookmarked' series and I'm already cheating a little bit. Yes this recipe was bookmarked but really, only to remind me to hurry up and make some guacamole!
I really love The Food Lab, found on food website/leviathan seriouseats.com. It take two of my favourite things, namely food and scientific method and combines them. I imagine most people would learn a few new techniques from reading through, even if you think you've got your recipe sorted. I'll probably be posting more off The Food Lab, as my method for frying steak, making chicken tikka masala and more all borrow heavily from those pages.
In this case the way I make guacamole was only slightly modified. Apparently the best way to get a good mix of chunky and smooth in your avocado it to use a whisk (who knew?) but as I already had my trusty but bloody heavy pestle and mortar out for the other bits and my washing up bowl is a pit of despair which I prefer to visit as little as possible I smashed it up in there too. Mostly what I got from the post was the importance of pounding your add-ins with salt before mixing in the avocado for all of the flavour!
