Guacamole

Guacamole, which translates as a avocado sauce, was created by the Aztecs and is a now Mexican classic. It very easy to make as it consists of chopping and mixing. It is commonly used as a side and compliments many dishes from across the world. Seriously healthy and full of goodness, the main ingredient is avocado which is high in fibre, has anti-ageing properties, regulates blood sugars and is full of vitamins and minerals. Traditionally served with tortilla chips, my favourite way to eat guacamole is when its spread onto garlic bread or wholemeal bread.

Ingredients:
1 avocado
1 lemon or half a limes juice
Half a medium red onion
5 cherry tomatoes or one salad
1 red thai chilli
1 tablespoon chopped coriander
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

All you need to do is chop the tomatoes, the onion and chilli into small piece and place is the bowl. Cut the avocado in half and take out the stone and peel off the skin, you can either cut the flesh into cubes or puree it, all that matter is your personal preference. Mix the avocado into the tomatoes, onion and chilli and squeeze the juice the lemon/lime, then add the coriander and salt and pepper and mix well.

Guacamole is versatile so you can adjust it to your taste. The lemons are sweeter so they are the citrus of my choice, however limes are traditionally used and they are sharper. Try this recipe for breakfast when you have the chance.
