Method

  • step 1

    Use a large knife to pulverise 1 large ripe tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a bowl.

  • step 2

    Halve and stone the 3 avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.

  • step 3

    Tip the juice of 1 large lime, a handful of roughly chopped coriander, 1 finely chopped small red onion and 1 deseeded and finely chopped red or green chilli into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper.

  • step 4

    Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed.

Ok but lacks punch. I would double chillies and more coriander.

you know what else packs a punch

It is a myth that the stone stops it from going brown. To avoid browning you need to exclude air to stop the giacamole from oxidising. Clin film is perfect for this.

question

Why isn't the tomato used in the video showing how to make the guacamole? Is it a vital ingredient, is it optional or a printing error?

SK567

The tomato isn't used in the video. You should make sure they are both giving the same recipe Good Food.

Would vacuum sealing prevent discolouring?

Best way to stop discoloration is to keep one of the avocado stones in the guacamole until serving. Once I knew this, I’ve never looked back!
