Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse the onion, tomato, chilli and most of the coriander until finely chopped (or you can do this by hand), then transfer to a bowl.
- Roll the lime over the work surface with some pressure to help juicing, then cut in half, juice it and add to the mix.
- Now cut your avocados in half, remove the stone and scoop out the creamy flesh with a spoon, making sure you get all the lovely bright green bit close to the skin.
- With clean hands squash the avocado to a pulp to make it super creamy. Leave a few of the chunks for a bit of texture. Mix through the blitzed veg and some seasoning. Serve immediately with a drizzle of good olive oil over the top and some more coriander.

GUACAMOLE
Providing a framework to build on as you wish, this pared-down guacamole lets the avocado shine. If you want more lime, add more lime. Seed the jalapeño, if you prefer its fruity heat without the spice, or leave the seeds in, if you enjoy living life on the edge. Letting the diced onion sit in lime juice for a couple of minutes will help temper its pungent bite before imbuing the dish with its oniony savoriness. Chopped cilantro and diced tomatoes are welcome additions to this Mexican staple, if you'd like. It's your guacamole. Serve with tortilla chips, or as a condiment alongside your meal, and double or triple this recipe for a party.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the onion and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Let that sit as you chop the jalapeño.
- Cut the hard stem end off of the jalapeño and discard, then slice the chile in half lengthwise. If you don't want the spice, use your knife or a spoon to remove the inner seeds and white membrane (this is where most of the chile's heat resides). If you enjoy the heat, then leave all of that in. Chop the jalapeño as finely as you can and add to the bowl with the onion and lime juice. Be sure to wash your hands very well with soap after handling spicy chiles like jalapeños, and whatever you do, do not touch your eyes after handling them.
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and pull the halves apart. You can use your knife to pit the avocados, but a safer way is to hold the avocado half in one hand so that your thumb is touching the skin side where the pit is and your index and middle fingers are touching the flesh side around the pit. Gently press your fingers into each other to pop the pit out; with a ripe avocado, it should come out very easily. Use your hands to squeeze the avocado flesh out into the bowl with the other ingredients, or scoop it out with a spoon.
- Using a fork, gently mash the avocados against the side of the bowl until they are mashed to your desired consistency, then stir them into the other ingredients until well combined. Taste and add more salt if desired.
- Contrary to popular belief, adding avocado pits to guacamole does nothing to prevent oxidation, but if you press a good layer of plastic wrap or parchment paper directly over the guacamole and store it in the refrigerator, it will keep well for up to 2 days.

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be. Look for avocados that are deep green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes ripe avocados, fresh cilantro, juicy limes, and flavorful onions and tomatoes.
- Season to taste: Guacamole is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Mash the avocados until smooth: Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados until they are smooth and creamy. Avoid over-mashing, as this can make the guacamole too runny.
- Add the other ingredients: Once the avocados are mashed, add the remaining ingredients and stir until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the guacamole too watery.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served immediately after it is made. This is because the avocados will start to brown if they are left out for too long.
- Garnish with cilantro: Garnish your guacamole with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
With its creamy texture, vibrant green color, and zesty flavor, guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you're serving it as an appetizer, a dip, or a topping, guacamole is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or side dish, give guacamole a try. You won't be disappointed!
