Cookbook:Guacamole Dip

Guacamole Dip is a spicy Mexican dip made from avocado and cream. It is the perfect companion for corn chips, totopos, or potato chips. The ingredients and quantities of this recipe are approximate, and they depend on the desired consistency and "picor".

Ingredients

 * 1 ripe avocado
 * 1 cup cream, sour cream, or yoghurt
 * 1 clove garlic
 * ¼ regular onion, cut in large pieces
 * 4 cilantro stems with leaves
 * 1 serrano chile pepper (optional)
 * Milk to thin the dip, as needed
 * Salt to taste

Procedure

 * 1) Put the garlic, onion pieces, cilantro and serrano pepper into a blender or food processor. Pulse for a few seconds—don't over do it.
 * 2) Halve the avocado and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Add the cream and pulse the blender for a few seconds.
 * 3) Taste the mixture and add salt or more seasonings as desired.
 * 4) Pulse the blender a little bit more. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk and pulse the blender.
 * 5) Serve immediately or store by covering the mixture with plastic wrap.
