Guacamole My Way
With the words “My Way” I don’t pretend having invented this version of guacamole. It’s simply a mixture of what I read in different recipes and what I added or modified over the years, adapting it to my taste buds. Apart from the ingredients the texture is also my favourite one, e.i. roughly crushed with a fork, but not mixed. After several encounters with Mexicans outraged at the “fancy”, “overloaded” “falsified” Western avocado sauces and claiming the real guacamole is nothing but avocado, salt and lime juice, somehow I feel I should add “My Way”, thus proving I don’t pretend mine being the traditional recipe.

Add everything to the avocado, stir well and put into the fridge for at least one hour.
