Ingredients
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeno, deseeded and deveined
- 1 teaspoon Salt, more to taste
- 4 medium-sized ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced for 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Start with your aromatics. Finely chop your cilantro leaves (fine stems are OK to include) and chilli.
- 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.
- Slice your avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out and discard any brown bits of avocado flesh – hopefully, there are none.
- 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.
- Add the chopped (or bashed) cilantro, chilli and salt mix, and two tablespoons of lime juice to the mashed avocado.
- Add more salt to taste. I typically add another ½ teaspoon.
Cup of Yum
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.
