#GuacSquad12 BONUS Recipe: Chocolate Guacamole #sponsor

I've just wrapped up my multi-day, multi-blogger event - #GuacSquad12 - that was sponsored by Casabella, Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices, and Melissa's Produce. In case you missed it, you can still get the scoop. And, if you love guacamole, you should definitely explore all of the creative takes on guac: here.

I made a Holy Mole Guac on the first day of the event and shared a Chunky Greek Guacamole on the last day of the event. While I was so excited about all of the versions - we had Roasted Peach Guacamole from Jane's Adventures in Dinner; Deviled Egg Guac from A Day in the Life on the Farm; and a Grilled Guacamole from Cafe Terra; and so many more - I realized we were missing a dessert guacamole.

No one had taken the plunge to create a guacamole as a final course. Hmmm...

So, in typical Camilla-style, I embraced the adventure and decided to create a chocolate guacamole as a bonus recipe for #GuacSquad12. Mixing avocado and chocolate isn't too much of a stretch, really; I've made chocolate-avocado pudding several times before.

Ingredients

3 ripe avocados
4 T ginger syrup
2 T organic granulated sugar
1/3 C unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 C semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
plain crackers for serving - or even cookies

Procedure

Peel and dice the avocados. Place the avocado, ginger syrup, sugar, and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl. Mash the avocados, incorporating the other ingredients, until your desired texture.

Stir in the chocolate chunks and spoon into a serving bowl.

I served these with plain-ish rice crackers. My crew thought it was too savory (no such thing in my mind!) and thought I should have served it with cookies. Maybe next time...

Connecticut Lobster Rolls, Canned Lobster Bisque, and a 2019 Henry Fessy 'Maître Bonhome' Viré-Clessé #Winophiles

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
