How to make guacamole

• 1 large ripe tomato
• 3 avocados very ripe but not bruised
• juice 1 large lime
• handful coriander leaves and stalks chopped, plus a few leaves, roughly chopped, to serve
• 1 small red onion finely chopped
• 1 chilli red or green, deseeded and finely chopped
• tortilla chips to serve

Instructions

1. 1

   Use a large knife to pulverise 1 large ripe tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a bowl.

2. 2

   Halve and stone the 3 avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.

3. 3

   Tip the juice of 1 large lime, a handful of roughly chopped coriander, 1 finely chopped small red onion and 1 deseeded and finely chopped red or green chilli into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed.
