Salvadoran Guacamole

April 23, 2020 By Lokness 3 Comments

Salvadoran Guacamole is made with only a few ingredients, avocado, lemon, onion, salt and one special ingredient, hard boiled egg. Creamy, hearty & satisfying.

If you guys remember when we went to Los Angeles last time, my in-laws gave us some avocados (from their tree) to bring home. Right before Easter (during shelter-in-place), my mother-in-law actually shipped us a package filled with avocados (picture below).

What better way to use the avocados than making my in-laws version of guacamole? My in-laws are Salvadoran. Like pizza, there are many versions and varieties from different areas. It’s the same for guacamole. Most of the guacamole that you see is likely the Mexican version with lime juice, and sometimes tomato and cilantro. Salvadoran one added lemon juice and one very special ingredient, hard boiled egg.

Egg in guacamole? YES! It may seem a bit different, but egg blends right into the guacamole. It gives the dish more texture and makes it more hearty. It’s very satisfying. I can eat a whole bowl with tortilla chips myself easily.

Salvadoran guacamole is very simple with only a few ingredients, avocado, lemon juice, onion, egg & salt. First, scoop the avocado cubes into a bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice. And mix for a couple times. Then, stir in the salt & onion until just blended. Add the diced hard boiled egg. Gently stir for a couple times. The guacamole should be creamy, but with little chunk of avocado, onion & egg pieces. Just like that, incredibly easy! Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos as appetizer, or with carne asada (grilled marinated beef) & rice as entree.

Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup white onion (finely diced)

Instructions

  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Using a big spoon to carefully put the egg in the boiling water. Cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to low, cook for 11 minutes. Transfer the egg to a medium bowl of iced water. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Crack and remove the egg peel under running water. Cut the egg into small dices.
  • In the meantime, cut the avocado in half. Remove the seed. Place half of the avocado on a chopping board flesh side up, using a paring knife, score the inside of the avocado into cubes. Scoop out the flesh. Put into a medium bowl.
  • Drizzle the lemon juice over the avocado. Add salt and white onion. Toss together with a spatula or spoon. Don’t overmix. The guacamole should be creamy, but with small chunks of avocado visible. Adjust with more salt or lemon juice if needed. Add the diced egg and gently mix into the guacamole. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Notes

  1. If the guacamole doesn’t taste right, you’re probably missing salt.
  2. Egg is added last, because I don’t want the egg to be broken down too much while mixing.
  3. Can’t find tortilla chips? Fritos go well with guacamole too! My mother-in-law serves with Fritos sometimes.

      The only note I’d like to make is that in El Salvador Guacamole is served as part of a meal.
      Not as a snack with Tortilla chips so it is not meant to be as creamy. As a Salvadorean thou I certainly appreciate the nod to my beautiful country.

        Thanks Sandra. That’s a good point. My husband’s family is from El Salvador. When I’m over at my in-laws’ house, my mother-in-law serves the guacamole as an appetizer with chips before other food is ready. My husband always joke about how Salvadoran food isn’t known, that’s great that you saw this post. Thank you for leaving a comment.

Have you been to @trejostacos? Other than amazing Have you been to @trejostacos? Other than amazing tacos, we love their cheesy bean dip. This is my copycat version of that dip. Looks ordinary, but layers with flavors! Creamy, savory, cheesy, little sweet & little citrusy. Give me a bowl of this dip & a bag of tortilla chips, I’ll be happy for a long time! Also, this dip can be made ahead. Just reheat & serve when ready.

Eton Mess w/ Strawberry, Mandarin Orange & Lemon. Eton Mess w/ Strawberry, Mandarin Orange & Lemon. Crunchy meringue cookies, fresh strawberries, sweet whipped cream, & my homemade tangy mandarin-orange lemon curd from last week. You can make most of these components ahead of time, just macerate the strawberries & whip the cream at the last minute. This is the spring dessert I want every year from now on! 🌸

Guys, this Mandarin Orange-Lemon Curd is so damn G Guys, this Mandarin Orange-Lemon Curd is so damn GOOD! You need this in your life!🍊🍋 First, you get the taste of Mandarin oranges. Sweet & floral. Then you get a little tanginess from the lemon. It’s creamy & smooth. I can almost eat this on its own, but I probably shouldn’t.😆 Put this on cupcakes, macarons, pavlova, yogurt, pancakes or anything you want. Best thing is that it only takes 15 mins to make!

On this day one year ago, California was officiall On this day one year ago, California was officially placed in lockdown. Offices, schools and shops were closed; restaurants only allowed takeout; shelves were empty at grocery stores. It was a scary time and still is today.  Oh, we were so naive thinking the lockdown was going to be for a short time!🤦🏻‍♀️

But good news is that there is hope in sight! Bryan & I were chatting w/ friends that this could be over in 2 or 3 months, max (SARS in Hong Kong lasted for about 2 months in 2003).

Infection numbers are down. Vaccines are here. I’m hoping that we’ll get our Fauci Ouchie soon. Dining out, traveling & hanging out with friends sound like the BEST things in 2021!

Hope you’re all healthy & hanging in there. My heart is with those who’re still recovering and have lost a loved one. You’re not forgotten.💕💕💕

Just sprinkle some sugar & torch with a blow torch. It’s just like making creme brûlée. That adds a really nice layer of flavors to the cocktail!
