Oh man, how I love me some good guac. I think the secret behind any guacamole is the garlic – not too much, but not too little!

Guacamole

(Takes 15 minutes, Serves 2-6)

Method

  1. Halve the avocados, then use a spoon to scoop out the innards (see how to prepare an avocado for tips). Add them all into a medium sized bowl, and mash until the desired consistency is reached.
  2. Cut the lime in half, and squeeze the juice from one-half over the mashed avocado.
  3. Add the onion, coriander, chilli, and salt to the bowl. Crush the garlic over the top, then use a fork to combine all the ingredients in the same motion you’d use to whip cream.
  4. Taste! Add more chili, salt, or lime juice to balance the flavour.
  5. Serve with corn chips, tortillas, nachos, tacos, or any of your favourite Mexican dishes!

Ingredients

  • 2 medium to large avocados
  • 1 lime
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 a red onion, finely diced
  • A handful of coriander leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 1 red chili (vary type and quantity by preference), finely diced
  • Freshly ground rock salt (vary by preference)

Yum Like the idea of Corriander would give it a nice twist.

I like how you say 15mins. it sounds like a long time, but does take about that long to mash it doesn’t it…
