Veracruzan Guacamole
– with radishes –

There was no way that this would not happen... the gastronomy of Veracruz also had to provide their guacamole recipe and it is made in a very original way, by including radishes in the preparation.

The curious thing about this preparation is that the radishes are not a vegetable that characterizes the state of Veracruz, the Jarochans simply came up with this way of making the guacamole and they got a great recipe because the guacamole acquires a crunchy consistency and a delicious strong and spicy flavor .

Although the best part of the Veracruzan guacamole is the combination of its opposite flavors that are generated by combining the avocado with the radish. It is a very good combination that can be used to put to tacos , to a melted cheese or to some breaded shrimps.

About the Recipe

• As any other guacamole this one is also very easy to make.
• When buying the avocados pick the ones that are a little bit soft because this indicates that they are just right.
• To make this preparation just 10 minutes are needed.
• The recipe yields 2 cups.

2 Avocados (17.6 oz)

4 Radishes (2.8 oz)

1 Lime (1 oz)

1/4 of an Onion (1.2 oz)

1 Coriander sprig (.3 oz)

1/2 tablespoon of Salt

Mix the Ingredients

1. Scoop out the pulp of 2 avocados and put it in a bowl; reserve 1 avocado pit.
2. Mash with a fork the avocados’ pulp that was put in the bowl, until having the consistency of a puree.

• The Onion dices that were cut.
• The dices of the Radishes that were cut.
• The Chili that was minced.
• The Coriander that was minced.

The lime juice is very important because it is used for the avocado not to oxidize.

The avocado pit serves to preserve the guacamole for a longer time.
