Method

  1. Use a large knife to pulverise the tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a bowl. Halve and stone the avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.
  2. Tip all the other ingredients into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed. Scatter with the coriander, if using, then serve with tortilla chips or spicy wedges and sour cream.

    This makes a great chucky guacamole but when I made it, I found that it needed a lift, so I added a clove of garlic. This didn't make it taste really garlicky, just lifted the flavour and made it tasts a million times better than any you buy in the supermarket! It was so tasty four of us ate the lot, with tortilla chips, in about 20 mins!

    I tested it with and without garlic and though the garlic one was still lovely I found it detracted slightly from the tangy freshness that I wanted from the lime and coriander. If you do want to add garlic I would advise you serve it straight away as raw garlic gets stronger the longer you leave it so will end up overpowering the dip. Bx

    Great fresh recipe. I cut down on the onion though to half and it was still a little over-powering. Skipped the corriander too

    Wow. Went to a Mexican restaurant in Austin, Texas a few weeks ago when we went over there and they make Guacamole in front of you and serve it to you straight away. I was totally inspired to make it when I got home. Made it with this recipe and wow. In Guacamole HEAVEN! :D x

    couldn't be easier. I did change a couple of things as used a half a white onion and a food processor instead of a whisker.
