Ingredients

  • ¼ cup cilantro fresh
  • 1 jalapeno pepper deseeded and deveined, small
  • 1 teaspoon salt more to taste
  • 4 avocado medium-sized, ripe
  • 1 lime juiced for 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start with your aromatics. Finely chop your cilantro leaves (fine stems are OK to include) and chilli.
  2. An optional flavour-boosting step is to give the aromatics a quick bash in a mortar and pestle with a teaspoon of salt. Alternatively, transfer it to a small bowl along with the salt and set aside while you prep your avos.
  3. Slice your avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out and discard any brown bits of avocado flesh – hopefully, there are none.
  4. Scoop the green avocado flesh into a large mixing bowl and briefly mash with a fork, sturdy wire whisk or potato masher. I like my guacamole chunky. But you can keep mashing the avocado until it reaches your preferred texture.
  5. Add the chopped (or bashed) cilantro, chilli and salt mix, and two tablespoons of lime juice to the mashed avocado.
  6. Add more salt to taste. I typically add another ½ teaspoon.

Notes

  • The avocado flesh for this recipe weighs roughly 450 grams (1 pound).
  • Simple recipes require the best quality ingredients. Use perfectly ripe, rich and creamy avocados. But, if the avocados you have are not that great, add a pinch of onion powder to your guacamole to boost the flavour.
  • I prefer to mix my avocado in a mixing bowl and then transfer it to a dip bowl to keep things tidy, but you can mash away in the dip bowl to save on dirty dishes.
