HOLY GUACAMOLE!

 This is too good (and easy) to be true.  But like all perfections there’s a snag; avocados while a fruit, are very calorific.  But this is just lush. PLEASE try this!

The players:

2 ripe avacados

½ red onion

1 ripe tomato (at least seeded preferably but not obligatory skinned);

Some fresh cilantro (coriander for those in Europe);

1 Serrano pepper;

Juice of ½ lime;

Garlic salt.

So this really is the work of minutes.

First finely shop the ½ red onion;

then the tomato;

 and the chili;

Next, scoop the flesh out of the avocados

 and cut each half into 4.  This will leave big chunks which will break down in a moment when we mix everything together.

 And roughly chop the cilantro (coriander leaf).

 Now we mix!  Stir everything together and add the juice of the ½ lime and garlic salt to taste.

 All that’s left to do is share with a few friends over a beer or two!

The Mutt’s Nuts.

As you know nuts are a yummie source of protein and essential oils.  So how could they get any better?  By caramelizing them!  These nuts are so good, thy really are the Mutt’s Nut’s.

Sorry, no group of ingredients photo.  But, you will need

550g Pecans

1 cup brown sugar

½ stick of cinnamon (ground up)

3 Tablespoons of water

½ teaspoon salt

2Tablespoons of vanilla

Then;

Melt the sugar and water, just to get the sugar dissolved.

Add the pecans and stir into the sugar

Boil this until it clumps or that the sugar at the bottom is no longer runny.  At this point the sugar will stick to the nuts and coat them.

Turn off the heat.  Add the vanilla and cinnamon.  Stir it all up and then spread the nuts out on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for 10 mins.

Once they’re all baked and golden cool and store in an airtight tin.  YUM!
