I always try to reproduce recipes that I fall in love with on our travels. The Hacienda pomegranate guacamole is one of them. In the recipe below, you will not see real pomegranate seeds. They are not readily available and when you find them, they are prohibitively expensive. You will also not see jicama. I think it may be available but I have not found any yet. What you will find is a molcajete granite (granite mortar and pestle) just like the one the Hacienda used. I have tried out the recipe using dried cranberries infused with pomegranate juice, and I have gotten rave reviews from my family guacamole experts.
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados
1/4 cup minced green onions
1 diced serrano chili
1/4 cup dried cranberries infused with pomegranate juice
1/4 cup peeled diced apple
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
Place ingredients into the molcajete and mash ingredients with pestle
until a coarse paste is formed. Serve with warm tortilla chips.
Note: I serve it in the mortar and pestle. You can buy one for $13.95 on Amazon,but it is very heavy, so I recommend having an Amazon Prime account.
