Here's an extra recipe for guacamole from this week's Cook the Book, Techniques of Healthy Cooking.

Guacamole

From The Culinary Institute of America's Techniques of Healthy Cooking

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds / 680 grams avocados (4 ripe)
1 ounce / 30 grams minced scallions
2 teaspoon /10 mL minced garlic
1/4 cup / 60 mL fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon / 5 ml minced jalapeño
1 teaspoon / 5 ml chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon / 5 mL kosher salt

1. Mash the avocados to a chunky consistency with a fork. Add the scallions, garlic, juice, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt. Stir to blend.

2. Press plastic wrap directly against the guacamole's surface to prevent discoloring. Allow the flavors to blend for 1 hour. Serve immediately.

Note: Use a fork to mash the avocados to a chunky consistency; food processors and blenders will make the mixture too smooth.
