2 ripe avocados -- halved,
1 pitted
3 serrano chiles with seeds --
1 finely minced
1/8 tsp kosher salt
Directions
Everybody knows how to make guacamole, right? Wrong. Please, no lime
or lemon, no sour cream. This recipe makes what is probably the most
commonly made guacamole in Mexico. It is very rich and buttery, and
is so simple to make, it can be done at the last minute. We make
guacamole to order at Cafe Marimba, adding a little cilantro and
roasted tomato, and we serve it right in the molcajete in which it is
made.
Quickly mash the avocados and chiles together and season with salt.
Guacamole should be chunky. Taste for seasoning and serve immediately.
Makes about 1 cup.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these early recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are some ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were a couple of recipe books published in the 14th Century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich people of that period. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
