Olive Oil and avocados make a terrific flavour combination - just a little oil makes the guacamole so deliciously creamy, even if the avocados arent mashed completely smoothly...

Preparation time: 15 mins

Cooking time: 0 mins

Serves: 4

2 ripe avocados
2 small cloves (or one large clove) garlic, peeled crushed and diced or minced
juice of one lime
good quality sea salt to taste
drizzle FILIPPO BERIO extra virgin olive oil
parsley, chopped/minced
pepper to taste

Slice the avocados in half and remove the pits. Then dice the avocado halves and add them to a medium mixing bowl (mortar/pestle).
To the bowl add the garlic and lime juice. At this point take a fork (or the pestle) or a large spoon and mash the avocado, garlic and lime juice together – if you like really creamy avocado, you want to make sure that everything is mashed rather well. If you like a little more texture, then just mash everything until it looks to a point you like.
Add the salt, mix again, and taste.
Dice a couple of chiles, and then add gradually to the guacamole until you get the amount of heat you want.
The last main ingredient I add is the olive oil, making the mixture really creamy, and the flavour blend really unique.
