Guacamole

One of our staples. A perfect accompaniment to a Mexican meal of Spicy Black Beans and Rice or as a snack with a few tortilla chips. Fresh, creamy and delicious!

Recipe serves 4

Ingredients:

• 2 Large Ripe Avocados
• 2 Tomatoes - finely chopped
• 4 Spring Onions - finely chopped
• 2 Garlic Cloves - crushed
• Juice of 2 Limes
• 1 Red Chilli - finely chopped (But only if you like it a little spicy!)
• 1/2 Tsp Sea Salt

Method:

1. Combine the lime juice, garlic, tomatoes, chilli and spring onions in a large mixing bowl and allow to marinate.
2. Halve and de-stone the avocados, then remove the flesh by using a sharp knife to first score a dice pattern in the flesh then scooping it out with a spoon. Add this to the other ingredients.
3. Next add the salt and give it a wee smoosh together with the back of a fork.
4. Serve immediately.

Nb. Secret Mexican Tip! If you want to prepare this a few hours in advance, you can help to keep it fresh and green by re-adding the avocado stones to the prepared guacamole and keeping it in the fridge.
