Whenever I have a meal out and order something that has
guacamole in it I always feel that the guacamole is no more than mashed
avocado. I had to try this recipe to see what the real guaca might actually
taste like.
It began with work in a mortar and pestle. A little white
onion, a chopped Serrano chilli, some salt and a heap of chopped coriander were
pounded into a paste. An avocado was then defleshed and mixed in with the paste
and some more chopped coriander. It was mashed lightly with a fork and it was
ready to take a squeeze of lime juice and be eaten.
It was easy to see the difference between what I had eaten
before and what I had now made.
