New Nordic Guacamole

Ingredients

The New Nordic version of guacamole incorporates ingredients commonly found in Nordic cuisine, such as dill, pickled onions, and smoked salt. It also replaces traditional lime juice with lingonberry vinegar, adding a tangy and slightly sweet flavor to the dish. The use of avocado remains the same, providing a creamy and nutritious base.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Avocado — Choose ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. To prevent browning, squeeze some lemon juice over the mashed avocado and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
• Lingonberry vinegar — If you can't find lingonberry vinegar, you can substitute it with apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
• Rye bread — Look for dense and hearty rye bread, preferably with seeds or grains for added texture.

Tips & Tricks

• For a smoky flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika to the guacamole.
• If you prefer a spicier guacamole, add some finely chopped chili peppers or a dash of hot sauce.
• To make the guacamole extra creamy, stir in a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
• Serve the guacamole immediately to prevent it from turning brown.
• Experiment with different toppings such as roasted pumpkin seeds or chopped fresh herbs.

Serving advice

Serve the New Nordic guacamole as a dip with rye bread or as a topping for open-faced sandwiches. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill for an elegant presentation.

Presentation advice

Arrange the guacamole in a small bowl or on a platter, and surround it with slices of toasted rye bread. Sprinkle some additional chopped dill on top for a pop of color.
