The Best Guacamole
Guacamole...elevated. This simple recipe shows you how to get an authentic guacamole flavour, in a way that has been lost to much of our modern kitchens. Perfect for healthy snacks, sandwich spreads, dips and parties. This guacamole is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup sweet onion finely diced
- ¼ cup red bell pepper or jalapeno pepper finely diced
- 3 avocados (flesh of)
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of your mortar and pestle set, crush the chopped cilantro, garlic, red chili flakes and half of the red pepper and half of the onion. Grind everything well against the bowl to release the juices and aroma.
- Add the avocados, lime juice and salt and continue to roughly mash. I like to leave small chunks for texture.
- Stir in the remaining pepper and onion. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve. I strongly recommend adding a double layer of saran wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole to minimize the browning of the avocados.
