Calories: 768kcal
Equipment
- Potato Masher
- Mortar and Pestle
Ingredients
- 2 medium size avocado, ripe and ready to use
- 1 small size red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small size tomato, deseeded and chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
- 1 jalapeno or green chilli, deseeded and fine chopped
- ½ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon guacamole seasoning (optional)
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (to avoid blackening)
- ½ lime, juiced
- handful of cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- In a mortar, add minced garlic, onion, salt, green chilli, and olive oil. Gently pound them. This helps in toning down the raw taste.
- Add avocado pulp to the mortar. Pour the fresh lime juice over the avocado. Sprinkle in the salt and seasoning. Use a fork, pestle, or a potato masher to break down the avocado.
- Add chopped cilantro, give it a good stir to fully combine all the ingredients. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil on top. Take a taste test (using a chip, naturally!).
- Serve guacamole with tortilla chips, potato chips, vegetable sticks, or as a side with your favourite Mexican dishes.
