Guacamole is a fundamental in any household and one that most have made very personal.  I am a bit of purist when making my guacamole. It has to have a crunchy note which is from the diced onion, it must have a tangy, zesty note which comes from the lime and a touch of heat to finish. Done!

Makes 250ml

Ingredients

3 large ripe avocados

¼ white onion, finely chopped

1 medium chilli, deseeded, finely diced

1 garlic clove, finely grated

2 Tbsp (or more) fresh lime juice

1 tsp salt

¼ cup chopped coriander, plus more for serving

3 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds (optional)

Method

Remove the avocado flesh from their skins and put it into a medium sized bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher, until a coarse paste.

Add the diced onion, chilli, garlic, lime juice and salt.  Mix well together.

Add the coriander and olive oil. Mix to combine and taste. It should have have a sharp hit which is well balanced.  If need be adjust to suit.

Serve with more coriander, extra drizzle of oil and sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds.

Serve.
