PHRANKENSTEIN’S BRAINS (AKA GUACAMOLE!) 0
October 14, 2014
I wasn’t going to bring you guys a Hawlloween post this year.
It’s not that I am not into it, I totally am! I mean WHAT’S not to like about dressing up and shovelling chocolate down ya gob!? It’s just that, as always, and like everyone, my time is limited and it appeared to me (via a Facebook survey that I ran) that most of you wanted the Pumpkin Salad post instead of a Halloween one.
And the Pumpkin Salad post IS coming….
But a couple of days ago when I popped in to the supermarket I saw these Frankenstein pots and COULDN’T RESIST buying them. They came home to Mama and were gazing at me from across the breakfast bench and I though “Oh what the hell, might as well do a quick and easy Halloween recipe!” It’s not REALLLLLY a Halloween recipe either, it’s a recipe for the best guacamole EVER that can be served in a gorgeous bowl alongside corn chips and eaten all throughout the year, but served in these pots (or anything equaly as creepy) it’ll make a great snack for the kids after school on the 31st!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Oooooooooooo!! OOOOOOOOOOO!!!
PHRANKENSTEIN’S BRAINS (aka GUACAMOLE)
INGREDIENTS
4 Avocados
Juice of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lime
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 small red onion, finely diced
3 tomatoes, deseeded and chopped into small pieces
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (feel free to add more to suit your taste)
black pepper to taste
OPTIONAL: 1/2 bunch coriander, chopped finely (I LOVE THIS but my kids don’t!)
METHOD
1) Using a fork, mash the avocado in a large bowl. I like to leace it a little chunky.
2) Add in the lemon and lime juice and mix gently.
3) Add in the garlic, onion, tomato, oil, salt and pepper (and coriander if you are using it) and fold gently. You want the final output to be chunky still so don’t over mix and crush!
4) Serve in scary pots (from the supermarket or Aldi or IGA or the reject / dollar store – mine came from Coles.) And if it’s not Halloween, serve in a normal bowl!
ENJOY!
