- I love more than anything a good, fresh guacamole.
0:04
And today I'm gonna show you
0:06
one with a little bit of a twist.
0:08
So if you're kind of guacamoled out
0:11
on exactly the same old recipe all the time,
0:14
I'm gonna show you a little something fresh.
0:17
Of course, we're gonna start with some avocados.
0:20
And be careful when you do this,
0:21
'cause, y'know, it's not hard,
0:25
but I think that it's a pretty common
0:27
trip to the emergency room,
0:30
people doing this with opening up their avocados.
0:35
'cause you do it right in the palm of your hand.
0:38
So the recipe calls for two big avocados,
0:41
and since these are small avocados, I'm using three.
0:44
They're mini-avocados.
0:46
So let's see, what's the method?
0:50
Right on the table here, and I'll slice, not in my hand.
0:57
Make sure that my fingers are never under the blade
1:01
They're just kind of off to the sides here.
1:04
Twist open my avocado.
1:06
Oh, that one's pretty too!
1:07
Here's the part where you gotta be careful, okay?
1:10
Knife right into the seed, pops right out.
1:16
That's the part where people get cut.
1:18
And I'll just take a spoon and spoon out that avocado.
1:26
We eat lots of avocados at my house, probably two a day.
1:29
I make avocado toast...
1:32
And I'm so happy that my kids actually like avocado toast
1:39
And we make lots of just guacamole.
1:42
And I'll slice 'em up and just eat 'em
1:44
with a little salt and a little olive oil on 'em.
1:47
Anybody else do that?
1:51
Okay, so avocados go brown real fast
1:54
and it's because of the air hitting them,
1:57
but what'll keep that from happening
1:58
is the juice of lemon, right?
2:02
So I'm gonna add some lemon juice,
2:07
keep it looking fresher, longer.
2:14
Yeah, lovely, lovely, lovely!
2:19
They're so good for you too, avocados are,
2:24
and I feel pretty happy that I like 'em.
2:30
I'm gonna mash 'em up.
2:32
This is a super simple recipe.
2:35
Really, this is the hardest part.
2:37
The work that I'm doing right now,
2:38
this is the hardest thing.
2:39
We're just gonna stir in the rest of our ingredients.
2:42
And what makes this different
2:43
is I'm gonna add fresh jalapeno,
2:44
or excuse me, fresh pineapple.
2:47
You could add jalapeno if you wanted to,
2:52
but the pineapple is the thing.
2:55
Now, to that, I'm gonna add a little salt, a teaspoon.
3:03
Half teaspoon of pepper.
3:07
Now, if you like, I'm not a big fan of cilantro.
3:14
If you like cilantro, add it.
3:18
I think I got the gene.
3:20
There's about, I think about half of us, taste dishwater.
3:24
- [Off-Camera Woman] Doesn't Jamie say it tastes like-
3:26
It does to me? - Soapy water?
3:28
- It does to me, it tastes like soapy water.
3:32
But you can add a little fresh parsley if you wanted to
3:36
if you're not into the cilantro.
3:39
Okay, I'm gonna add some red onion,
3:45
which goes nicely with the jalapeno,
3:53
which goes very nicely with the pineapple.
4:01
Yeah, so if you wanna freshen up your guacamole recipe.
4:07
Mm, and that smells so good!
4:09
These flavors are so good together.
4:12
The lemon juice in there with the avocado
4:14
is gonna give it a little brightness and acidity.
4:17
The pineapple also is gonna give you
4:18
some of that brightness.
4:23
And then you've got the jalapenos and the red onion.
4:25
That's a really good combination
4:27
of ingredients for guacamole.
4:30
A little salt and pepper, y'know,
4:32
and it's just as simple as that.
4:45
And this nice dish right here in the center,
4:50
Father John, our friend Father John,
4:51
you met him, you've seen him before, he pops in sometimes,
4:54
he throws pottery and he made this dish right here.
4:59
It's really pretty, so thank you Father John.
5:02
And let's see how it is.
5:15
So, next time you make a...
5:22
Next time you make this at home, your guacamole at home,
5:25
add a little pineapple, a little bell pepper,
5:27
or excuse me, a little jalapeno pepper, and red onion
5:31
and that'll really put a nice twist on it.
5:33
So there you have it.
