  • 1/2 small red onion

  • 3 jalapeno chillies,seeds removed

  • 1/2 bunch coriander,leaves only,

  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 3 ripe avocados

  • juice of 2 limes

  • 8 cherry tomatoes,roughly chopped

  • corn chips,to serve

Method

  1. Finely chop the onion,chillies and coriander leaves. Place in a mortar with a generous amount of sea salt and pound with a pestle until you have a rough paste.

    Peel,stone and halve the avocados and add to the mortar,pounding until they start to mash.

    Add the lime juice and a good grind of pepper and fold through.

    Add the cherry tomatoes and fold through gently.

    If the mortar is an attractive granite one,serve the guacamole straight out of that,with a bowl of corn chips.
