This is an AWSOME condiment to put on or in any mexican dish. I got hooked by the free sample from the central square Bread and Circus, and Tasha then showed me how to make it.  It should be noted that T makes this much better than I do.

serves 8:

• 2 Ripe Haas Avocados
• 1/4 small onion diced
• 1/4 small tomato diced
• 4-5 sprigs of chopped cilantro (leaves and thin stems only)
• juice of 1/4 of a lemon
• sea salt to taste
• coarse fresh ground pepper to taste
• 1/4 of a clove of fresh garlic

Slice avocados in 1/2 remove pits. and scoop flesh into bowl. Juice lemon over avocados, this should help keep the Guac green. Add diced onion, tomato, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher. Chill for 30+ minutes, season to taste.

Excellent on burritos, fajitas, tacos, or nachos. The recipe scales resaonably well, just watch out for the lemon, it can be strong.

Thai Green curry – One of my favorites, quick, simple, and cheap too. Can be made vegitarian or meatatarian too just swap tofu for the chicken. It’s Named for a British friend who introduced me to Thai fare. This will be better the second day. It’s not terribly traditional, none of my recipes are.  Enjoy!
