Guacamole is a Mexican dip of mashed avocado, lime juice, salt, onion, coriander and chilli.

Origin

The name comes from the Aztec language Nahuatl: “ahuacatl” (avocado) and “molli” (sauce). Traditionally it is made in a stone mortar.

In flexitarian cooking

Guacamole provides unsaturated fats and makes tacos, bowls or baked potatoes creamy without cheese or sour cream.

Tip

Mash the avocado roughly with a fork instead of blending to keep some texture. Lime juice and cling film pressed onto the surface slow down browning.
