Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- Scant teaspoon salt
- 3 to 4 limes, juiced, to taste
- 4 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
- 1/2 fresh green chili, or to taste, minced
- 4 scallions (white and green parts), finely sliced
Directions
Get everything, except the avocados, prepped when you get home.
Just before you want to eat, peel and stone the avocados and put the flesh in a bowl. Don't worry about how pulpy you make the avocado, as it will be mashed. Dissolve the salt in the lime juice and pour it over. Then add the other ingredients and mash with a fork until you have a rough lumpy mixture. At all costs avoid turning it into a smooth puree; by its nature the avocado will be smooth anyway, but you want as many soft but form-holding clumps as possible.

Recipe calls for fresh chopped corriander, since to my understanding cilantro usually refers to the leaves and corriander refers to the roots of the same plant. Sounds just a different way naming the spice but since I am pretty new to cooking I was to make sure.

This was the best and freshest tasting guacamole I've ever had. Even my husband raved. I used 1 large lime instead of 4, (I think Nigella used very small limes... but the lime is what makes it taste amazing. I'll never use lemon again!!!!
