GOOD FATS
PERFECT AS A SIDE OR SNACK
I have been making guacamole for years, but I recently went on an incredible trip to Mexico where I tried some amazing variations (including one with crickets in – don’t worry, I won’t put you through that). Adding a few extras to this simple, good-fat-rich staple takes it up a notch, big time!
Serves: 2–3
2 very ripe avocados
juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small red chilli (chile), finely chopped
1 red onion, very finely chopped
150g (5¼oz) pitted green olives, roughly chopped
15g (½oz) coriander (cilantro) leaves, roughly chopped
sea salt
Scoop all the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash well with a fork. It doesn’t have to be completely smooth, as a bit of texture is great here.
Add the lime juice, oil, garlic, chilli (chile), onion, olives and coriander (cilantro), with a generous pinch of salt, and mix well.
