Guacamole<\/p><\/div>\n

There are as many versions of this dish and many ways of making a good guacamole, but this one is my favorite. Good result always depends on using quality, ripe avocados. Mashing rather than pureeing gives control over the texture. This classic is a favorite at any party. The only problem you will have is keeping the bowl filled. <\/p>\n

Prepare<\/strong> \t15 minutes
\nCook <\/strong>\tno cooking required
\nServes<\/strong> \t4 <\/p>\n

2 large, ripe avocados
\njuice of 1 lime or to taste
\n2 tsp olive oil
\n1\/2 onion, very finely chopped
\n1 fresh mild green chili such as pompano seeded and very finely chopped
\n1 garlic clove crushed
\n1\/4 tsp ground cumin
\n1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro plus extra to garnish (optional)
\n salt and pepper<\/p>\n

1.\tCut the avocados in half lengthwise and twist the 2 halves in opposite directions to separate. Stab the pit with the point of a sharp knife and lift out.
\n2.\tPeel, then coarsely chop the avocado halves and place in a nonmetallic bowl. Squeeze over the lime juice and add the oil.
\n3.\tMash the avocados with a fork until the desired consistency-either chunky or smooth-is obtained. Stir in the onion, chili, garlic, cumin, and chopped cilantro, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
\n4.\tTransfer to a serving dish and serve immediately, to avoid discoloration sprinkled with extra chopped cilantro if liked.<\/p>\n\n
