Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium/large ripe avocados
- half of 1 ripe mango, diced
- 2 tbsp sundried tomatoes (chopped, optional)
- 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp jalapeño pepper, finely diced
- 3 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tbsp lemon or lime juice
- ½ tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Place the diced onion, jalapeño, 2 tbsp of cilantro, salt, pepper and cumin powder in a mortar. Using a pestle, roll all ingredients round and round against the mortar to grind them into a paste.
- Transfer the paste into a bowl, add avocados and mash with a masher into a creamy mixture.
- Add sundried tomatoes (if desired), remaining chopped cilantro, lemon juice and mix gently.
- Top with diced mango.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure to use perfectly ripe avocados to achieve creamy texture and rich flavor.
- You will need ripe sweet mangoes to add a tropical, sweet flavor to this guacamole.
- Make the paste consisting of diced onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, pepper and cumin first. Then add the avocados.
- If you do not have a mortar and pestle, you may use a fork to mesh all the ingredients on a cutting board or in bowl.
- If you include sundried tomatoes, cut them into small pieces before adding them to the guacamole. They will add texture to the dip. Also, the oil that comes with sundried tomatoes will add to the creaminess. If you use ripe fresh tomatoes, make sure to add them only before serving to prevent them from releasing their juices and making the guacamole too watery.
- Before serving, taste and adjust to desired spiciness (more jalapeño or cumin) or sweetness (more mango).
