Guacamole Recipe (Dawn Rees)

Guacamole Recipe (Dawn Rees)

2 large ripe avocados, mashed

1 medium tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped

1 small white onion, finely chopped

1 pale green (sweet) chilli, finely chopped

½ red (hot) chilli (or to taste)

Pinch of sugar

Freshly ground black pepper

Salt to taste

2 tbsps fresh coriander, chopped

1 tsp olive oil

Mix all together about one hour before serving time for the flavours to blend but not for the avocados to go brown.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.  Put some additional coriander leaves sprinkled on top.

Notes:  

• I got this recipe from a year I spent living in Texas in the mid-70s. 
• I’m often asked for the recipe but haven’t ever typed it out before! 
• Men, in particular, really go for this recipe.  
• I usually add more than ½ a red chilli, usually a whole one at least.  
• Don’t make it in the food processor – it should be a bit lumpy.  
• You can add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the mixture if you’re making it a bit in advance, to stop it going a little brown.
