Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ripe avocados
- 1 whole Green bell pepper
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Optional jalapeño (for spice)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Place the avocado flesh into a blender or food processor.
Remove the seeds and stem from the green bell pepper, then chop it into smaller pieces. Add the chopped bell pepper to the blender.
Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the blender.
Rinse the fresh parsley and cilantro thoroughly to remove any dirt. Measure out 0.5 cups of each and add them to the blender.
Add the white vinegar, olive oil, and lime juice to the blender. These ingredients will provide the sauce with its tangy flavor balance and creamy texture.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper into the blender. If you prefer a spicy guasacaca, remove the seeds from the jalapeño, chop it, and add it as well.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If needed, stop the blender occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure an even consistency.
Taste the guasacaca and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, lime juice, or herbs to suit your taste.
Transfer the guasacaca to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve your Venezuelan guasacaca with tortilla chips, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or spread it inside arepas for an authentic Venezuelan experience!
