Best-Ever Chunky Guacamole Recipe
Serves: 4-6
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 3 ripe avocados (not bruised)
- Juice of 1 large lime
- Handful of coriander (leaves and stalks chopped, plus extra for garnish)
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon sambal oelek or finely chopped deseeded chili

Method:
- Prepare the tomato: Use a large knife to mash the tomato into a pulp on a board, then transfer it to a bowl.
- Scoop the avocados: Halve, remove the stones (save one), and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.

- Mash & blend: Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together, leaving some chunky bits for texture.
