The Best Ever Guacamole

1. 1

   Mince the garlic (add more or less to taste).

2. 2

   Dice the onion (ditto).

3. 3

   Cut avocado in half and twist to separate. Stab the pit with the long sharp edge of your knife: twist it, and the pit will come right out attached to the knife.

4. 4

   With a spoon, scoop out contents into a glass bowl.

5. 5

   Add the garlic and onion.

6. 6

   Using two knives cross-cut the mixture until it is in smaller chunks, then mash with a fork.

7. 7

   Squeeze in 1/2 the lime, white pepper and salt. Taste. Add more salt and/or lime as needed.

8. 8

   I don't care for a lot of additions, but cilantro is one I like. Avocados are too subtle, so adding too many other ingredients obscures its wonderful, nutty flavor.

9. 9

   Also consider black olives, tomatoes (de-seeded and diced) or jalapenos.

10. 10

    Serve with chips and home-made salsa, or add to any sw or Mexican dish.
