    For the people commenting on not using a metal bowl. This is an old wives tale. Modern stainless steel bowls,
    like the ones I use, are completely fine, and have zero effect on the food.

      Pay em no mind, fellow Chef. That old tale came from people using those cheap aluminum bowls that turned everything grey. Now if you'd be so kind I would love to see your take on an egg salad sandwich.

      I find adding some salsa verde adds some acid and a good flavor and keeps it from turning brown. Love your recipes. Thanks for the comedy and great cooking!

    I prefer red onion for its flavor, if you haven't tried it in guacamole, I recommend giving it a try sometime. Definitely going to try your chopping/crushing technique next time.

    The first guac I ever made was pretty much even amounts of avocado and onion, blended in a food processor to a silky smooth texture. I then added a lot of garlic and lemon juice.
    Served on top of Blinis (tiny russian pancakes) with shrimp and thin slices of parma ham.
    It was amazing!

    Dear Chef John, thank you for all your videos - I am a real fan! I can't believe I'm actually about to do this but I think I can give you a quick tip! 😨
    I lived in Mexico for 3 years, in Morelia, Michoacán home of the famous (and absurdly tasty) Haas avocados. In Michoacán guacamole is almost like a condiment - they add it to most of the dishes so I can honestly say that I know how to make it. One of the fundamental steps is that avocado flesh should not ever be in contact with metal! Apparently it reduces its taste significantly and causes it to turn brown to to natural oxidation process. I learnt that one should always use a porcelain blade knife and a glass or porcelain bowl. To serve, best to use either a small wooden spoon or a crispy tortilla. And yes, they also add a bit of unseeded tomatoes cubes. In my opinion these simple steps do promote the taste. I hope you find this useful. Please keep up your fantastic work, you are a great mentor to many of us. Greetings from Vienna, Austria. If you ever make it to the city of music, it would be a pleasure to meet you personally and tell you where you can eat the best Wiener Schnitzel in town. Best wishes!

    Chef John, I have a FOOD WISH:
    Could you PLEASE do a video on herbs?!
    Specifically:
    -when can we use the whole thing (stems and all)
    -what ones should we use JUST the leaves.
    -Are any too fibrous or not good to eat/cook the stems?
    Thank you sir!!

    The thing about guacamole is that there's no secret. You can make it however the fck you like it and it's going to be $

    • @robertholtz
      @robertholtz Před 7 lety +44

      Sure, throw in the maple syrup and sriracha while you're at it. Freestyle your guac all you want -- just don't make a video about it and call your concoction the "Classic Recipe." There's a LOT of bad guacamole in this world and the reason why is because of people who think that no matter what you put in there "it's going to be $." To be truly innovative in food, first you need to start with, understand, and respect the basics, the classics, the standards. Otherwise there is no context. The thing about great guacamole is, you start with this amazing ingredient -- the avocado. You can only screw it up from there. But a few things, like salt, like citrus, bring the prime ingredient into sharper focus. Garlic is a wonderful ingredient but it tends to take over the show. That's why it has no place in the classic recipe for genuine authentic guacamole.

    Topping with celantro is absolutely necessary. It allows those of us who can't eat cilantro know that we can't eat it.
    Alternatively you could garnish with a bar of Irish Spring.

    The first time I ever had cilantro I actually had no idea. I told the waitress because I was so concerned, "I think someone accidentally poured soap in the black beans". She told me it was the cilantro and I didn't believe her at first. To me it tastes exactly like when shampoo gets in your mouth. Blech.

  • @originalhgc
    @originalhgc Před 7 lety +2

    Thank you for highlighting the plight of cilantro sufferers. As one of the unfortunates, I can say that there are two things that can be done to lessen the negative impact -- thorough crushing and acid. If cilantro (leaves only) is chopped superfine and especially if it is ground down like in the procedure shown in this video, I usually can't taste it in the dish. Also, very acidic preparations (like twice as much lime juice) helps to cover it up.
