I feel guilty just posting this recipe...2 quarts of heavy cream!! I guess it is low carb, though. Low carb = healthy, right? This comes from the Reata Restaurant, by way of "Best American Recipes."

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
5 jalapenos, seeded and minced
1/2 large red onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 large tomatoes, diced (approx. 2 cups)
1 avocado, diced
2 quarts heavy cream
1 bunch cilantro

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium heat. Saute onion, jalapenos, and garlic for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in tomato, avocado, and cream.
  • Bring the mixture slowly to a simmer on low, making sure the cream doesn't separate. Cook for 1/2 hour to reduce by 1/3, stirring to prevent scorching.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Before serving, stir in cilantro, saving some for garnish.
