Traditional Guacamole
From Chef Lesli Sommerdorf for Harmons
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp finely chopped white onion
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 tsp minced jalapeno
1 tsp salt
3 medium ripe but firm avocados
3 Tbsp diced tomato
1 Tbsp finely chopped white onion
Salt if necessary
Tortilla chips and/or fresh corn tortillas
Instructions:
In a molcajete or bowl, grind the onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and salt. Alternatively, use a fork to mash all the ingredients to a paste in a wide hardwood bowl. Cut each avocado in half, working the knife blade around the pit. Twist the halves to separate them and flick out the pit with the tip of the knife. Fold a kitchen towel in quarters and hold it in the palm of your “non-knife” hand. Rest an avocado half cut side up in your palm and make 3 or 4 evenly spaced lengthwise cuts through the avocado flesh down to the skin, without cutting through it. Make 4 crosswise cuts in the same way. Scoop the diced avocado flesh into the molcajete. Repeat with the remaining avocado halves.
