Homemade Guacamole

Our very first reader recipe! Vagner Carvalho, from the USA, shares his chunky homemade guacamole: ripe avocados, fresh lime, tomato, white onion, cilantro and a touch of jalapeño. Ready in 15 minutes, no cooking needed.

Ingredients (serves 8)

• 3 medium ripe avocados (about 450 g flesh)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (30 ml)
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt (3 g, plus more to taste)
• 1/4 cup finely diced white onion (40 g)
• 1/2 cup diced Roma tomato (90 g, watery seeds removed)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (8 g)
• 1 small jalapeño (14 g, finely minced; remove seeds and membranes for less heat)

Instructions (15 minutes, no cooking)

1. Rinse the avocados, lime, tomato, cilantro and jalapeño under running water, then dry. Dice the onion and tomato, chop the cilantro and mince the jalapeño.
2. Halve each avocado lengthwise. Remove the pit with a spoon and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
3. Add the lime juice and salt. Mash with a fork until mostly creamy, with small avocado chunks.
4. Fold in the onion, tomato, cilantro and jalapeño. Taste and adjust the salt or lime a little at a time. Serve immediately, or cover the surface and refrigerate until serving.
