Classic Guacamole

Prep Time:   5 minutes
Yield: 1 cup

Ingredients:

3-4 tablespoons (45-60 mL) fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons (30 mL) red onion, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon (15 mL)  jalapeno pepper (fresh or pickled), roughly chopped
1 tablespoon (15 mL) fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) Kosher salt

2 fresh avocados, peeled and pits removed, and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon (15 mL) fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon (15 mL) olive oil
Kosher salt;  freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1. Place the cilantro, garlic, red onion, jalapeno pepper, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and salt in the bowl of a food processor.
   Roughly ‘chop’ and ensure that everything is well-combined.  Alternatively, you can finely chop these ingredients by hand, or use a mortar and pestle.
   2.  Prepare avocados by peeling,  removing pits, and cutting it into chunks.  Mix in the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Immediately add the cilantro-onion mixture to the cut-up avocado.  Gently combine.
   3.  Stir in olive oil.  Adjust seasonings to taste, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.  Garnish with  extra cilantro.
   4.  Tear open the chip bag!
