guacamole recipe no tomato
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian, Vegan
Description
A smoky and spicy guacamole featuring charred corn and Calabrian chilies, offering a richer flavor profile without traditional tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe Hass avocados
- 0.5 small red onion, finely minced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely minced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels, thawed if frozen
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon Calabrian chili paste
- 0.5 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Guacamole Base: Add the avocado flesh, minced red onion, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and sea salt to a medium bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until you reach the desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
- Char the Corn Kernels: Heat a medium skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply charred and slightly softened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Create Charred Corn Drizzle: Combine the charred corn kernels, the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Calabrian chili paste, and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Gently mash with a fork to break down some kernels and integrate flavors.
- Assemble Guacamole: Transfer the prepared guacamole base to a shallow serving bowl. Create a slight well in the center and generously spoon the Charred Corn and Calabrian Chili Drizzle over the top.
- Garnish and Serve: Reserve a small pinch of charred corn kernels and extra cilantro leaves for garnish. Sprinkle the garnish over the top and serve immediately with sturdy tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.
Notes
To achieve a milder onion flavor, soak the minced red onion briefly in cold water before adding to the guacamole. If cilantro tastes soapy to you, substitute with fresh parsley or chives. For a looser drizzle consistency, add another teaspoon of olive oil or lime juice. Guacamole is best served immediately as avocado browns quickly once exposed to air.
