Serves 4 – 30 mins <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mexican night is a highly anticipated night in our home. It does however take some preparation to get all the parts organised in time for dinner, my husband and I split the jobs and there is always a child around to scoop and mash(see eat) the avocado and taste final dishes for seasoning. This is the recipe for the guacamole that even my tomato shy teenager will eat(and it’s green!!!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

4 medium tomatoes
4 ripe avocados (we generally only get Hass)
2 cloves of garlic minced – use fresh for this recipe
1\/2 small onion finely chopped- I like to use red when I have one in the fridge
Small bunch of coriander chopped
Fresh red chillies – taste for heat as I find they vary greatly and some chillies can blow your head off!
Juice of 1 lime(fresh is better)
salt to taste <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step One<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The tomatoes have to be peeled, seeded and chopped, I do this in a large batch and split between salsa(see recipe)and guacamole therefore not repeating the same job again. Cut a small cross in the base of each tomato and place in a heat proof bowl. Pour boiling water over to cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Two<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Leave the tomatoes in water for about 3 minutes then lift them out of the eater using a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl of cold water. Drain the bowl. The skins will have began to peel back from the cross that you made. Remove the skins and quarter the tomatoes, remove the seeds and chop the flesh – set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Three<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cut the avocados in half and remove the stone. Scoop out the flesh and place in a bowl, mash with fork or potato masher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Four<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic and juice of lime to the bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Five<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Remove the stalk for the chillies and slit them removing the seeds with either a small knife or a teaspoon. Chop finely and add to the avocado mixture along with the chopped tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Six<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Check for seasoning and cover – put this in the fridge if you have time for about an hour to allow the flavours to develop – if not eat away!. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
