Spicy Avocado Crema

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
This sauce sits somewhere between guacamole and salsa verde. Creamy like butter yet refreshing thanks to the lime and chili. The high fat content of the avocado is the perfect vehicle for the chili's heat (capsaicin), coating your palate for a long-lasting, flavorful finish.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Immersion Blender or Food Processor: For silky smooth texture.
  • Citrus Juicer: To get every drop of lime juice.

Instructions

1 ✓

Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender cup. Immediately squeeze the lime juice over it.

Tip: The acid inhibits the enzyme responsible for browning.
2 ✓

Add the garlic, jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), and salt.

Tip: Always add salt before blending to ensure it distributes evenly throughout the thick cream.
3 ✓

Blend until smooth, slowly drizzling in the olive oil to create a fluffy emulsion.

Tip: Adding oil helps emulsify the avocado fats, resulting in a mayo-like consistency.
4 ✓

Stir in the chopped cilantro by hand at the end.

Tip: Blending herbs can turn the sauce a muddy brown color and make it taste bitter.

Recipe FAQ

How do I stop it from turning brown?
Avocado oxidizes quickly. The lime juice (acid) and oil (air barrier) help, but for best results, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce until serving.
