guac

Once again, a month has flown by! My apologies for being a bad blogger this month.

I did however, manage to find inspiration in a few beautiful avocados. We enjoyed a delicious mexican fiesta with friends last night which included, you guessed it, guacamole. I learned this insanely simple version from a lovely hispanic gentleman years ago. It never fails.

serves up to 5 guacamole-loving people

4 avocados
1-2 serrano peppers (depending on size), finely diced, ribs and seeds intact - remove if you don't like it hot
handful of chopped cilantro
1 lime
salt

Cut avocados in half, carefully removing pit. Using a large spoon, scoop out fruit into a bowl and mash gently with a potato masher, leaving some small chunks. Squeeze half of the lime over mashed avocados and add salt, diced serranos, and cilantro. Mix together with spoon. Add more lime juice and salt according to taste. Enjoy!
