The Best Guacamole You’ll Ever Make (Restaurant-Quality) | Epicurious 101

[@richardsalzborn538]

Saul again with perfect balance between entertaining, charismatic and professional. gotta love him

[@PrimpedGelipse]

Should have a full time show about cookin

[@hablin1]

I’ve never seen him before he’s great

[@rev.leonidasw.smiley6300]

Si

[@animatorx7035]

He is xtra charismatic

[@MisterCram]

Yeah feel free to give this chef his own regular daily show, Epicurious 🤓

[@Rokmonkey32]

I would love a show with Chef Saul and Chef Frank. Just those two making food.

[@chrissandoval7675]

chef frank has his own channel, "protocooks with chef frank" though the posts are erratic. chef saul also has a channel "Chef Saúl Montiel" though there's only about 20+ videos and he hasn't posted in about a year. enjoy

Yes!!!🎉🎉🎉

Chef Saul's spoon drop is the most wholesome thing to happen in kitchen.

[@KenNakajima07]

Saúl rocks!!! almost as much as Guacamole itself! and this Guacamole is legit. Mexican here, Chefs don´t give you this tip, we never slice our hands because we remove the pit and cut the avocado with regular table butter knives, want to cut it while in the shell, also butter knife or a spoon... never cut yourself, no issue at all ever!

[@ButchCosimoto]

Grande Saul, I can’t believe seeing your face on KZbin by chance after briefly working together at Gusto Restaurant in Greenwich Av in New York City back in 2005/2006! You came a long way my hermano 🎉❤

[@TaraMCali]

Are there more videos with Saul? If not, there needs to be. I want to see him make mole enchiladas! Yum 🤤

[@TraceyWooo]

He did two separate videos last year! One for enchiladas and one for chicken mole. They’re on Epicurious as well.

[@MichaelOKC]

I think he should start his own channel!

[@lilliamuribe9438]

Can we get more videos of Chef Saul alone like this please!! LOVE IT!

[@InvestigationHour]

Pureeing the onion and serrano. Brilliant. Once again Saul representing culture and cuisine with pure grace 👑

[@ericafontana6424]

Saul is so lovely and adorable

[@g-bgcg]

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate a chef that takes care of his finger nails and cuticles. Bravo! for taking care of yourself. There are so many chefs/cooks on TV and KZbin that have horrible looking nails and it’s so unappetizing. Oh and thank you for showing us the proper way to make guacamole. 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑

[@Bev-Anne]

Could you mix the onions and Serrano in a mini food processor?

[@User25896]

You said it ! Thought I was the only one to notice the nails 😅

[@ShadowClone1989]

I'd love to see two cheffs getting the same random ingredients and they'd have to make dishes out of them. Preferably Chef Saul and Chef Frank. They always have really creative ideas.

[@yasser_ayed]

Back in Miami, Mexican food and I had a 'see you later' kind of relationship, more fleeting than a Floridian snowstorm 😂 But now that I saw chef Saúl for first time, I'm rediscovering my love for it once again 🙌

[@rival-slays]

As a salsa snob and a Hispanic person, it’s so nice to see a proper guacamole recipe on KZbin. Seems like everything I’ve watched adds stuff like garlic or cumin or who knows what else that does not belong in guacamole.

[@carmenmagadan5019]

Original, în Mexic, îs just like this, just those ingredients!

[@shac9131]

And this is a basic recipe I thought everyone knew

[@jacobrogers2214]

Quick tip. Place the avocados in a sealed gallon-sized ziplock bag along with a tomato and store them in the refrigerator for approximately one to two days to ripen them. The tomato releases ethylene gas, which ripens the avocados. The refrigeration helps maintain the avocados' freshness while they ripen.

[@nathanbarnes2501]

This is a goat tip, thanks!

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

Yes and don't skip out on the lime as an ingredient. It's chemicals help the guacamole stay bright green

[@zlatan]

also the seed of the avocado when placed in the guacamole GREATLY increases the time for the avocado/guacamole to go dark. I thought chef saul was going to mention this. This is useful info if you want to store the guacamole in the fridge @@Kyle-nm1kh

[@Cynthia-s2p]

Refrigeration will rob avocado & tomato of flavor & texture. Better to put in brown paper bag to ripen on shelf at room temperature.

[@cristibaluta]

Makes no sense to ripen in the cold, also the tomatoes outside the summer are so fake that i doubt they have what to release

[@AwakenTheDawn2004]

The "turn the page" music when he's going to twist open the avocado. Brought me back to my childhood and my little record player 😂❤️

[@yayacentella]

Where have you been hiding chef Saul. Spoon drop has me hooked. More videos please

[@kevinwhite6176]

while I've known you traditionally use a molcajete to make guacamole I didn't realize you wanted to crush the cilantro and onions and garlic in there like that! I always just toss them in. (I always use garlic.) Also, I find that when just using a bowl, a squiggly potato masher works wonders for quickly mashing everything up. The wire mashes and the gaps let pieces come through.

[@carialv]

Same

[@BoscoMorasca]

As a mexican, I confirm that sometimes we just toss the ingredients without smashing them or using molcajete. It's easier but still tasty. Also, I like adding olive oil and black pepper!

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

I like a less creamy guacamole personally so I only lightly mash with a fork which also lets pieces squish through

[@silvernomad5]

Gotta admit I toss them in, too, but I’m going to do it his way, I bet it gives a huge boost in flavor!

[@CorinnePritchard]

In Northern Europe we don't have a chance to replicate Mexican food properly. Our chillies barely have names (other than jalapeno), and our avocados are all either unripe or overripe - there is no inbetween! Our supermarkets mix a tiny amount of avocado with an amazing amount of mayonnaise, and call it guacamole. We really need to up our game :)

[@reginabillotti]

Not surprising. Spain is the only European country with any significant avocado production.

[@rafaeltaracena112]

Mexican here. buy the unripe 2 days before preparation let the avocado out of the frigde. Gonna be on point for guacamole.

[@kAe8560]

Sad!

[@Shinkajo]

Yeah, like if you want to make black mole? Forget about it. Lots of things are like impossible to find or really expensive.

[@SilentAttackTV]

I used to not like avocado or cilantro that much until I made guacamole. Lime, cilantro, and avocado really is the perfect combo

[@robgriffin4801]

Simple and you can actually taste the avocado versus overpowering it with other ingredients

[@Magradon]

My wonderful husband bought a molcajete for me for Christmas and I can't wait to try this! Thanks for the video!

[@hector60938]

Please make sure you season your molcajete😭😭

[@Magradon]

I did. The guacamole and salsa I made turned out great!

[@dxcSOUL]

Ive followed and executed about a dozen different guacamole recipes ive found online. But none of them have come close to this!

This is the best video I've ever seen 😍! He is so professional he shows you how to pick out the ingredients, how to use the knife, how to mix it & why you need to mix it that way.....I love it This is precisely the video needed for everyone looking to do this. I love how specific and strategic he is❤❤.

[@bhav-yeah]

Guys lets show Saul how big fanbase he have

[@ChristopherKummetz]

Just did this yesterday!!! Everything in almost exact same molcajete as you. I use about 4 cloves of garlic and skip the tomatoes. Crushing everything in a molcajete takes the flavor to a whole new level!!!!! I use mine every day!

[@silvernomad5]

Love it! Love the practical advice, clear instruction, the tips, the recipe, sounds and looks great, can’t wait to make my own. I cracked up when he dropped the spoon,lol, love his sense of humor!

[@LowSlungBadBitch]

Literally my thought process lol

[@nunya148]

This was VERY VERY helpful!! My guacamole is always terrible. Nothing like the authentic restaurants!! I think taking out the seeds in the tomato & adding it last as well as smashing the onions, pepper, cilantro & like to a paste helps TREMENDOUSLY!!!

"Just need a beer now.... maybe two". 😂 PERFECT! Saving this recipe for my next Guacamole!

Saúl is so great. I love finding these videos. I could watch him endlessly. And that cooked Salsa Morita he made in another video has become an absolute staple in our house.

[@janfwagner]

I absolutely love the technique of smashing the onions, cilantro and chili in the granite mortar before adding to avocado and tomatoes. I have ordered my own and can't wait to take my guacamole to the next level!

Guacamole is better with some little chunks. This here is almost a sauce, don't like it.

🌺 Aloha Saul, I love the way you explained it! 🥑🥑🥑 Mahalo (Thank you) for sharing your vlog!

[@alexhoward9684]

Loved your version, almost identical to mine. I even slice/dice the avocado the same way, in the shell. But I use a roasted Anaheim pepper, peeled for the sake of mildness and the tender taste buds of friends. In my bowl only I'll finely crumble a chile tepin because I like the flavor and heat. Next batch I'm going to try the crumbled cheese. That looks perfect! Thank you for teaching us, demonstrating. Ole'!

I can watch this over and over again. Saul’s guacamole is on point. I love the spoon drop :)

[@koolaid1820]

i NEED SAUL TO TEACH ME EVERYTHING 👑👑

[@anthonycolozzi8256]

I make guacamole exactly the same way except I never smashed the veggies into a paste but seeing this I’m definitely adding that step. Awesome video Saul thank you!

[@wilhelmscream6834]

Yeah it's crazy how much it imparts the flavors when you smash them into a paste like that. Might take a little longer but it's well worth it. My wife hates the texture of raw onion, so I had to do it that way and it turned out I prefer it that way myself!

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

What a fun video to watch and I learned a couple things. I don't have a mortar and pestle, I need to get one. Also, I never put onion in mine but will try it next time I make guacamole.

[@justbloggin7407]

Saul's videos are the best!!!!

[@SeattleSandro]

I know Saul is busy being the chef at his restaurant, but come on, if anyone deserves his own show it's him. He's funny, charming, and loves presenting his food as authentically as possible. Next time I'm in Manhattan, I'm making reservations at Cantina Rooftop.

[@chrislashley]

[@shawnmcmahon3042]

I’ve been making guac forever but came across Saul’s version today. I’ve never thought to mash the ingredients before adding the avocado. Gonna follow his method for the Super Bowl this weekend.

[@kayhanshaghaghi9597]

Saul is by far the most incredible chef presenter on KZbin!

[@Jonbob836]

I could watch saul every day! this guy is awesome!

[@nomdutilisateur]

2:05 only do that if you indeed picked a perfect avocado. If you picked one that is not ready yet, you could chip the fine edge of a hard steel knife when twisting the knife. Use a spoon then, or a knife that you don't care for.

[@mattkoethe6691]

He didn't use red onions, and I love him for that! To me, they're so sharp and overpowering when raw and they need time to brine in a salsa or an acid to meld that sharpness into the whole sauce. White and yellow are superior in anything when raw.

Just skipping them altogether is the key
