Guacamole
ingredients:
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 2 ripe avocados
- the juice of one lime
- a good handful of fresh coriander leaf (cilantro)
- half a small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 mild green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- salt and black pepper
instructions:
- Cut the tomato in half. Scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon and discard. Chop the flesh well and add to a bowl. (You can peel the tomato if you want to, but I didn't bother. The extra fibre doesn't bother me.)
- Halve and stone the avocado. Scoop out the flesh with a tablespoon. Roughly chop it and add it to the bowl along with the lime juice and most of the coriander leaf, the onion, chilli and some seasoning to taste.
- Combine everything well with a spoon and then mash a tiny bit, but do leave a few chunks. Sprinkle with the remaining coriander leaf to serve.
NOTES:
Did you know that you can bury the pit of an avocado into the guacamole to help keep it fresh for a time? You can also use a knife to level it off and pour a thin layer of olive oil over top. Store in the refrigerator and then when you are ready to use it, pour off the oil and fluffy up the guacamole with a fork.
