Guacamole with Roasted Corn

In this lavish guacamole, the sweet aromatic flavor of roasted corn contrasts with the sharp and savory red onion. Be sure to use a fragrant, ripe avocado, preferably the Hass variety. You can tell that an avocado is just right when it yields slightly to pressure, has no extremely soft spots, and is still shapely. When you cut it open, the flesh should not be discolored (if so, it is overripe or bruised) and the skin should peel away from the flesh easily (if not, it is underripe). To hasten ripening of an avocado, place it in a paper bag at room temperature.

Step 1

Preheat the broiler.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together the corn, red onions, cumin, chile, garlic, and oil. Spread the vegetable mixture onto a baking pan and roast about 3 inches from the flame or heat source for about 10 minutes, stirring often-at least three times or more. When the corn is tender and golden brown, remove the pan from the broiler and set aside to cool.

Step 3

Combine the avocado, tomato, lime juice, vinegar, and cilantro in a serving bowl. Stir in the roasted corn mixture and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or chill and serve later.
