Day 3: Guasacaca

Venezuelan Guasacaca

What is grilling and BBQ-ing without some great fresh sides.. Here is my latest discovery via Bobby Flay (can you tell I'm a fan?) Mexicans have their own Avocado dip/sauce "guacamole", and here is the Argentinian version of avocado accompaniment, Meet "Guasacaca". It has just a couple more ingredients (one key ingredient being the vinegar) that makes it distinctive and different - great as an appetizer or side for your summer entertaining and grilling

Ingredients



4 ripe Avocados, peeled, pitted & Diced

2 garlic cloves, smashed to a paste

1/2 red bell pepper finely diced

1/2 poblano chile, finely diced

1 small Spanish onion, finely diced

1 plum tomato, halved, seeded, and finely diced

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil

2 TBSP finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley leaves

2 TBSP finely chopped cilantro leaves

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

good quality tortilla chips.

Combine the avocados and Garlic in a bowl and mash with a fork until chunky.  Fold in the bell pepper, poblano, onion, tomato, vinegar, oil, parsley, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.  Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
