A stellar guacamole relies entirely on the quality of your avocados and a coarse, texturised mash rather than a smooth puree. Stripped of unnecessary fillers, authentic guacamole allows the rich, buttery profile of ripe Hass avocados to shine, balanced by the sharp bite of raw red onions, fresh coriander, and a crisp splash of lime juice. Whether served as a centrepiece for a dinner party or alongside simple corn tortilla chips, keeping the texture rustic ensures a premium flavour profile.
3 ripe Hass avocados  1/2 small red onion, finely diced  1 ripe tomato, deseeded and finely chopped  1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped  1 green chilli or jalapeño, finely minced  Juice of 1 fresh lime  Coarse sea salt to taste
Slice the avocados in half, remove the stones carefully, and scoop the rich flesh out into a large bowl or a traditional stone mortar.
Use a fork or a potato masher to gently crush the avocado flesh, leaving plenty of chunky pieces intact to achieve the ideal rustic texture.
Scatter the finely diced red onion, chopped tomato, minced green chilli, and fresh coriander directly over the mashed avocado base.
Pour in the fresh lime juice to brighten the flavour and prevent browning, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, and fold everything together gently before serving.
