Mindy’s “husband famous” Guacamole

This recipe is for 2 people who just wanna eat some guac and chips.

1 large haas avocado

1/4 tsp cumin

1/2 a lime

chipotle to taste

salt to taste

mush up the avocado in a medium bowl. add the cumin and squeeze the lime into the bowl. only squeeze out about 1/3-1/2 of the liquid and adjust as needed when you taste the guac. add some salt and a few shakes of chipotle and mix everything together. once well blended, taste and add more of whatever you like.

note: i made this recipe because i didn’t want to buy a huge bunch of cilantro just to make a little guac. and it turned out really well.

Beans with duck, bacon, mushrooms and spices 1 lb bag of cannellini beans soaked over night 2-4 duck thigh/leg quarters 3 gloves garlic sliced 1 large onion chopped 1/2 lb shiitake mushrooms chopped with stems 1 heaping tb cumin 1 1/2 heaping tb paprika  1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 1/2 tsp chipotle 1/2-1 carton of chicken broth 1 large can crushed tomatoes (nothing added, no basil, no bull shit) 1/2 package thick cut bacon chopped 2-3 tbl olive oil heat up oil in a big pot with the bacon. when the bacon is mostly cooked add the duck and brown on all sides. once duck has browned add cumin, paprika, chipotle and red pepper flakes. stir well and then add onions and garlic. melt the onions down a bit and then add mushrooms and crushed tomatoes. cook for about 15 minutes then add beans along with their soak water and the chicken broth. bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer. cooking time will vary, at least 1.5 hours, but cook until beans are to your liking and duck is almost falling off the bone. notes: this is the best recipe i’ve come up with in a very long time, it’s seriously incredible! i only used 2 leg quarters, so there wasn’t too much fat from the duck, you might want to skim off some of the fat if you use more. you could also add sausage or use chicken instead of duck but it will change the flavor. also the amount of chipotle is a guess as i thought to put it in last min. and just shook it in instead of measuring it.
