As the holdiays approach everyone needs a new recipe to impress their guests. This dish is also a great snack food for those looking to watch their weight. A mixture of two exotic fruits, the pomegranate and avocado, for an enticing food experience
Sweet Pomegranate Guacamole
Ingredients and Items Needed:
One avocado (soft)
One pomegranate
1/3 measuring cup
1 bowl
A knife
A cutting board
A fork
A mortar and pestle (or a cup and a large spoon)
A paper towel
(Optional additions: Crushed red pepper, lemon juice)
Instructions:
1. Cut up and extract pomegranate seeds
2. Take 1/3 cups (or slightly less, depending on the size of your avocado - my avocados are quite large) of non-crushed pomegranate seeds, using mortar and pestle (or in a cup with a large spoon) mash the pomegranate seeds (Note: The pomegranate seed juice will fly everywhere when you crush the seeds so make sure to cover the cup or pestle with a paper towel while crushing the seeds)
3. On your cutting board, cut the avocado and peel off the skin.
4. Mash the avocado in a bowl with your fork.
5. Mix the avocado and the pomegranate mush together
Delicious! If you want to spice up this dish more think of adding crushed red pepper for a sweet n' spicy taste. Another addition could be adding some lemon juice for a sweet n' sour taste.
I suggest eating this guacamole with Triscuits or Wheat Thins, I particularly like the Roasted Tomato flavor.
Good luck!
