guacamole.

Execution:

  • To a molcajete or mortar and pestle, add cilantro, onion, serrano, lime juice, zest and a generous pinch of salt.

  • Begin mashing this mixture until it forms a thick, dark green paste and all the ingredients are broken down.

    (This can be accomplished using a food processor, or the ingredients can be hand-chopped. However, the oils, flavors, and aromas present in these ingredients are more effectively released when using a molcajete.)

  • Add your avocados and pound until everything is thoroughly mixed and the the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt and lime juice.

Ingredients:

  • 4 ripe hass avocados.

  • 1/2 small Spanish/Vidalia onion, small dice.

  • small bunch cilantro leaves & stems.

  • juice and zest of 1 lime.

  • 1 serrano/jalapeno chili, chopped.

  • kosher salt.

Equipment:

  • Molcajete or mortar & pestle.
