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.

    Good recipe but try using spring onions, garlic, and jalepeno pepper for a more authentic flavour. Also save some of the lime juice to drizzle over the finished guacamole (this really stops it turning brown).

    Very easy to make, and there is no way you can get wrong with this. I replaced chillies with tobasco sauce, and it worked very well. Everyone in the party loved it!

    We made this last night to go with some fajitas and it was absolutely brilliant. We declared we are going to make this every day from now on and never buy ready made again! We actually made it in a food processor, blitzing the herbs and chili first, then the tomato, the avocado, and seasoning and lime last. It took about 3 minutes to make! Will try it again with garlic and let you guys know the results.

    Well, we had it with garlic today and I have to say it's very nice too. We just put in half a clove as we only had one avocado left and it was delicious, though the garlic-less version does taste more fresh and zingy. So bottom line, if you like garlic, do it with garlic, if you don't, do it without, you can't go wrong either way as this recipe is pretty great! We used it as a pizza dip today and it is probably the healthiest thing I've ever dunked my pizza crust into. Thanks Barney!

    delicious - the family demolished it in minutes. Used a spring onion instead of the suggested red onion, but stuck to the recipe apart from that.

    I'm currently living in Japan, and contrary to popular belief it is VERY hard to eat healthy here. This recipe is exactly what I needed to add some healthy pizazz to my meal, and luckily all the ingredients were available.

    Just made this as I got some cheap avocadoes. Very tasty, used cherry toms and spring onions, the mix of crunchy onion and smooth avocado is great- using it to top my bbq'd burger :) Just goes to show you don't need the natural yogurt and cream that some shop bought guacamole's use!!

    Just eating this now and really enjoying it! First time I have made my own Guacamole and am never going back to the supermarket option :) Added the garlic as suggested because I love garlic and only used half the onion = spot on.
