Ingredients
- 2-3 avocado medium
- 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh
- ½ teaspoon Coriander or cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- Pinch black pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- ½ - ¾ cup pomegranate arils from about 1 medium pomegranate
Instructions
- Halve the avocados, take out the seed and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Drizzle the lime juice over the avocados and lightly mash the avocados with a fork. Add the coriander or cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne, and mash again until desired consistency. Gently stir in the pomegranate arils. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Seeding the Avocado: seeding avocados became so much easier when I learned the knife trick. Basically, halve the avocado and pull the two halves apart. Using a sharp knife (a santoku style knife works great) carefully hatchet the knife into the seed, twist and it will pull right out. For a visual, here's a good post.
- For the Pomegranate: I used to use the bowl full of water trick to get the arils out - until the wooden spoon trick came into my life. Again, like the avocado, halve the pomegranate (score it along the outside and dig your fingers in a bit to pull it apart) and then turn it over so the cut side faces your palm. Get a large spoon and paddle the back of the pomegranate and the arils will fall right out into your palm. I sometimes have to stretch and break the membranes of the pomegranate a little between smacks to help loosen the arils. Here's another way I saw online that doesn't require water or hitting anything with a spoon; I think I'll try it this way next time I eat a pomegranate (like, tomorrow).
