Treat your ingredients with care...
- Avocados — Choose ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. If they are too firm, the guacamole will be lumpy.
- Hungarian paprika — Use high-quality Hungarian paprika for the best flavor. Adjust the amount according to your spice preference.
- Parsley — Fresh parsley adds a vibrant flavor to the guacamole. Chop it finely for even distribution.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier guacamole, add a pinch of Hungarian hot paprika.
- To prevent the guacamole from browning, press a plastic wrap directly onto its surface before refrigerating.
- Serve the guacamole with traditional Hungarian bread or crispy tortilla chips for a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
- If you prefer a chunkier guacamole, mash the avocados less and leave some larger pieces.
- Experiment with different varieties of Hungarian paprika, such as sweet, smoked, or hot, to customize the flavor profile.
Serving advice
Serve the Hungarian-style guacamole as a dip with freshly baked Hungarian bread or crispy tortilla chips. It also pairs well with grilled meats or as a topping for Hungarian goulash.
Presentation advice
Garnish the guacamole with a sprinkle of Hungarian paprika and a sprig of fresh parsley for an appealing presentation. Serve it in a colorful bowl or on a wooden platter to enhance its visual appeal.
