Guacamole

by Michelle

   This is a recipe for straight-forward guacamole without unnecessary fillers such as mayonnaise or cream cheese. There are folks out in the world that do not like cilantro (eh-hem, Linda), so we leave it out. Feel free to add a little of the greenery if you and yours are so inclined.

Guacamole

3 medium avocados, preferably Hass, pit removed, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice

2 medium limes, freshly squeezed

1 large jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded and minced

1 medium tomato, seeded, chopped and drained of juice

1 teaspoon minced garlic

2 shakes Tobasco or similar sauce

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Procedure:

1. We do not advocate mashing avocados with a fork. Cut avocados into chunks and stir in additional ingredients, mixing lightly with a spoon.
