Pati Jinich really opened my eyes to guacamole’s full potential. In the states, a lot of food people have an incredibly rigid idea of what is and is not guac. Pati revealed to me that in Mexico there are no rules with guac. Makes the purists here freaking out look super silly. Guacamole is a mole. And like all moles, there are infinite variations, the only necessary thread being the aguacate.
So what about you? Any food/cooking lessons you’d like to share?
I made some kind of lentil pockets yesterday. Flour based dough I roll out thin like roti, and fold it so it can hold the filling, and pan cook it.
Hasband was starving and took the first one from the pan. To cool it faster, he opened it up so you can see the filling. He goes, look, its an alligator mouth. Now I cant unsee it. Now they are henceforth known, as alligator pockets.
