What’s Up, Hungry People

It’s the Game of Thrones Recipes finale – we’ll be winding down our Westerosi feasts with Qyburn’s Wildfire Guacamole.

If you aren’t caught up on the most recent season of Game of Thrones – BE WARNED! There’s gonna be BIG OL’ SPOILERS in this post!

Wildfire is the most explosive chemical in all of Westeros and has been used on more than one occasion – but most recently, Cersei used it to blow up the Sept and put an end to the Tyrells once and for all. We know that Cersei used Qyburn’s skills in alchemy to resurrect the Mountain so it’s not too far-fetched to believe that she would have had him reverse-engineer the ingredients for wildfire as well.

In his quest to recreate wildfire for the queen, I’d like to think he took some side quests of his own to concoct this spicy wildfire guac.

I’m more than hyped for the season eight premiere tonight – and here’s why I think Qyburn will have an important role to play in the series finale of Game of Thrones:

Here’s What You Need

  • Avocados: Creamy base for the guacamole, providing richness and texture.
  • Garlic: Adds a pungent, aromatic depth to the flavor.
  • Shallot: Contributes a mild, slightly sweet onion flavor.
  • Cilantro: Brings freshness and a hint of citrusy taste.
  • Habaneros: Adds fiery heat and a fruity undertone.
  • Jalapeno: Provides a milder heat and a fresh, green flavor.
  • White Pepper: Adds a subtle, earthy spiciness.
  • Sea Salt: Enhances the overall flavor.
  • Roma Tomato: Adds a juicy, slightly sweet, and tangy flavor.
  • Lemon Juice: Brings a zesty, citrusy brightness.
  • Lime Juice: Adds a tangy, acidic note.
  • Red Pepper Flakes: Optional for extra heat and color.

Let’s Cook

First things first, let’s get our ingredients ready. Peel those garlic cloves and get rid of the root tips. Slice up the shallot thinly. Now, grab your mortar and pestle and throw in the garlic, shallot, red pepper flakes, and cilantro. Smash and grind them into a nice paste. It’s like making a potion, but tastier!

Spice It Up

Next, let’s handle those peppers. Remove the seeds from the jalapeno and slice it into rings. Do the same for the habanero but just cut it in half. Toss both peppers into the mortar and crush them into a fine paste. Feel the heat yet? Qyburn would be proud.

Season Like a Maester

Season your spicy mix with sea salt, white pepper, lemon juice, and lime juice. Use the pestle to mash everything together. The citrus will balance out the heat and give it that wildfire kick.

Mash the Avocados

Now, for the main event – the avocados. Cut them in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into cubes and add them to the mortar. Use the pestle to mash it all up to your desired consistency. Smooth, chunky, or somewhere in between – it’s up to you!

Finishing Touches

Garnish your guacamole with diced Roma tomatoes and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes if you dare. Serve it up with blue corn tortilla chips or any dipping snacks you like. Picture yourself watching King’s Landing burn while enjoying this explosive dip.

Pro Tips for Perfect Guac

  • Mortar and Pestle Magic: Using a mortar and pestle releases the oils and flavors better than chopping or blending. It’s an alchemist’s secret.
  • Adjust the Heat: Not everyone has dragon fire tolerance. Adjust the amount of jalapeno and habanero to suit your spice level.
  • Citrus Savvy: Fresh lemon and lime juice not only add flavor but also keep the guac from turning brown too quickly.
  • Texture Matters: For a chunkier guac, mash less. For a smoother texture, keep mashing. Customize to your preference.
  • Freshness is Key: Use the freshest ingredients you can find. Fresh cilantro, ripe avocados, and juicy tomatoes make all the difference.
