One of my favorite dishes to prepare is guacamole. It’s quick, easy and there are so many variations you can try! For this recipe, I sautéed the onions, chile peppers and garlic. I really like the slightly roasted flavor it adds to the guacamole, and it results in a more mild flavor of onion and garlic.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup sweet onions diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 serrano peppers minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large avocados mashed
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1/3 cup cilantro chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
- Sriracha hot sauce
Directions
- Heat the oil to medium heat in sauté pan. Add the onions, garlic and serrano chile. Season lightly with salt and pepper and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the onions starts to brown a little. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Add the mashed avocados to bowl. Add the lemon juice, 1/2 of the cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Add in the onion mixture, stir well to combine and taste for salt.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the cherry tomatoes and remaining cilantro. Drizzle with Sriracha hot sauce and serve with chips!
Chef Notes
Add in a little crumbled feta cheese and smoked paprika for some added smoky flavor with the salty bite of the cheese.
