Classic Guacamole

Easy classic guacamole recipe, with fresh jalapeno, coriander and lime. Try our freshly picked avocados from the orchard for this simple recipe!

Don Draper said “Make it simple, but significant”. Although he was referring to something else entirely, it still perfectly describes this Classic Guacamole. Its stupidly fresh and insanely quick. We only hope you have enough Avocados to service this in bulk for all your pals. If not, you know where to find them!

Makes about 1 3/4 cups

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno, including seeds.
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup chopped coriander, divided
1 large or 2 small ripe avocados, halved and pitted
A squeeze of lime, if desired

Classic Guacamole

Method

Mash the onion, jalapeno, salt (the coarseness of kosher salt helps you make the paste), and half of the coriander to a paste in a molcajete or other mortar. You can also mince and mash the ingredients together on a cutting board with a large knife or a fork, and then transfer the paste to a bowl.

Score the flesh in the avocado halves in a crosshatch pattern (not through the skin) with a knife and then scoop it with a spoon into the mortar or bowl.

Toss well (it should be like a salad properly dressed in vinaigrette), then add the rest of the coriander and mash very coarsely with a pestle or a fork.

Season to taste with lime juice (if you’d like) and additional jalapeno and salt.
