This is my attempt at something sort of modernist. I guess it's obvious that I don't have a great understanding of modernist cuisine. I just know that there are some restaurants that deconstruct food and it ends up tasting good, so I decided to try it on my own.
Above you see the combination of sliced guacamole, chopped jalapenos, chopped tomatoes and chips. There's some lime juice, too. Here is my advice to you: just mash it all together. Don't try and be sophisticated and take it all apart. It's not very good.
My issue with this is that when taken apart, the ingredients were just bland. The flavors didn't meld nearly as well together as they do when mashed together as normal guacamole. Now, this may be partially my fault. I think perhaps it I had done something to them - spiced them in some way, or prepared unexpectedly - they may have been good. Also, it's possible that if I had very high quality ingredients, like really perfectly ripe tomatoes and amazing avocados, it also would have been better, but as it was, this dish was a flop.
