SUPERBOWL Treat: The Perfect Guacamole
31 Jan 2014 by Javier Restrepo in Cuisine, General
According to the Wall Street Journal, Guacamole will be one of the favorite treats during the Superbowl viewing . With that much guacamole to be eaten, preparing the perfect snack for your guests is no easy task. Further, 32% of super bowl party go-ers say they plan on eating some form of dips.
Here’s the perfect recipe as you plan your Superbowl party. Created exclusively for IMUSA by celeb chef George Duran, the Crunchy Herbed Guacamole recipe is delicious and savory, combining avocadoes with cilantro and radishes.
To prepare your perfect Guacamole use IMUSA’s Lava Rock Molcajete. Made from ultra-durable natural volcanic lava rock, the IMUSA Lava Rock Molcajete mortar & pestle extracts essential oils from herbs and spices – dried & fresh. The weight of the authentic stone provides stability and makes pounding a cinch, while the rough surface provides a distinct texture to salsas and dips. The molcajete is composed of volcanic rock material which seasons over time, ensuring even more flavorful salsas and guacamole with each use. This molcajete is large enough to grind up a party-size batch of guacamole, then mix and serve it in the same bowl. So break out the tortilla chips and let’s have a fiesta!
