Guacamole
Fresh, creamy and full of flavour, guacamole isa delicious Mexican-inspired dip made with ripe avocados, zesty lime, aromatic coriander and a gentle kick of cayenne and green chilli. Easy to prepare and wonderfully versatile, it is perfect for sharing with nacho chips, serving along side chilli con carne, or enjoying as a fresh accompaniment to your favourite dishes.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lime or lemon juiced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ onion finely chopped
- ½ green hot pepper deseeded and finely chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes deseeded and diced
- 1 Tbsp fresh coriander cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove crushed
Instructions
- Peel the avocados and place them in a large bowl, cut into large pieces. Set aside one tablespoon of the lime or lemon juice. Drizzle the remaining juice over the avocados and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Add the salt, cumin and cayenne pepper, and mix by gently mashing the mixture with a fork. The aim is not to mash the avocado completely, but to leave some small pieces for texture.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix with a spoon. Drizzle the reserved lime or lemon juice over the surface of the guacamole. Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate until ready to serve.
