Guacamole - A lil bit of Mexico


Ingredients:
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 red onion, minced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1-2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lime or lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • A dash of freshly grated black pepper
  • 1/2 ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed, chopped





Cut avocados in half. Remove the stones and use a desert spoon to scoop out the avacado from the peel, put in a mixing bowl.

Mash the avocado with a fork leaving some texture.

Add the chopped onion, coriander, lime or lemon, salt and pepper and mash some more.

de-seed the chilies (be careful handling the peppers; wash your hands thoroughly and for god sake don't touch your eyes)
Keep the tomatoes separate until ready to serve.


Cover with cling film to stop the avocado turning brown in the fridge.

Just before serving, add the chopped tomato to the guacamole and mix.

Add Fresh Coriander leaves as Garnish and serve with tortilla chips.
