The secret to the best guacamole recipe?
Starting with a paste made with coriander/cilantro, chilli and onion.
Its the traditional Mexican way.

Throw in some diced tomato if I felt like it and sometimes even some sour cream.
Because of this, mashing is key here.
Nobody wants chunks of raw onion in their guac!
No mortar and pestle?No worries just use a fork!
And this simple paste is the foundation of a guacamole that will haveyourfriends beggingyoufor the recipe.
After that, its as simple as mashing in the avocado and stirring in lime juice to taste!
Avoidunnecessary fillers such as sour cream and cream cheese.
They only dilute flavour.
How to stop guacamole from going brown
Avocado goes brown when it is in contact with air.
So to stop it from browning, do as follows: pour into airtight container.
Bang to remove air bubbles, smooth surface.
Cover with a thin layer of olive oil or warm water.
Avocado is so dense, it will not absorb it.Stays green for 2 whole days in the fridge!!
To serve, pour off liquid, give it a good stir.
Add a fresh spritz of lime if needed then serve!

Flavour variations
There are plenty of flavour variation options.
Chunky or smooth I like mine on the chunky side usually but it depends on who Im serving.
To be honest, smoother looks better when serving at a gathering.
Id rather makeAvocado Hummus!
But if its what you like, feel free to stir it in!

Is avocado good for you?
Avocado are packed full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and healthy fats!
Avocado is alsogood for weight lossbecause its high in fibre and (good!)
fats which will keep you feeling full for longer.
But because they are 77% fat, they do need to be eaten in moderation.
What to eat Guacamole with other than corn chips!
A big platter of corn chips with a bowl of guacamole is certainly the most classic!
Anything suitable dunking works with Guacamole.
Vegetable sticks, crackers, torn up pieces of Lebanese bread or other types of flatbread.
I really hope you do try this traditional recipe.
It adds an extra element of wow to your guacamole but wont taste oniony.
No one can ever put their finger on why it taste so good, they just know it does!
No change to recipe I wouldnt dare!
