A Mexican dish of mashed avocado mixed with lemon or lime juice and various seasonings (usually chilli powder and red pepper). Sometimes finely chopped tomato, onion and coriander leaf are added. Once you start making your own guacamole you'll never buy it again! I have made this many many times but with a couple of changes.
Steps to make Guacamole:
- Chop up the onions. (Tip: leave the root while chopping to avoid crying) Finely mince the garlic.
- Dice the tomatoes, taking out the watery seedy parts.
- To prepare the avocadoes, rotate the knife through half the avocado, split into half, remove the seed carefully by slotting the knife into the seed from the top or the middle and wedging it out. Peel off the skin by hand, scraping out leftover bits. Remove brown parts from avocadoes as much as possible and dice the avocadoes.
- Finely chop up the cilantro last. (Chop the ingredients in this order for a cleaner cutting board)
- Put the diced avocadoes into a mixing bowl. Squeeze the lime and pour the salt onto avocadoes. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth, or a little chunky depending on your tastes. Add cayenne pepper (and a dash of paprika if desired) and mix. Taste the guacamole at this point in case you want more salt or spices.
- Add garlic, onions and cilantro and mix.
- Alternatively, you could pound the onion, garlic, cilantro together in a mortar and pestle, as well as the avocado separately
- Lastly, add tomatoes and mix. Season to taste. Let the guacamole rest in the fridge for half an hour.
- To store, refrigerate with a layer of cling film to prevent oxidation and browning.
I don't put in the tomato but I do add extra garlic (at least one extra clove) and a good sized handful of chopped fresh coriander (makes a huge difference). In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. In a pestle and mortar, pound the chillies, coriander, tomatoes, salt and onion to a fine paste. Add a little water and lime juice to make a looser mixture.
