This traditional appetizer and condiment for fiesta-goers in Mexico is the starting point for most North Americans' exploration of Mexican cooking. The avocados must be ripe, yielding easily to a squeeze; if they're too firm, you can always let them ripen in a paper bag on the counter for a few days.
Rick Bayless accompanies this radish-garnished version with tortilla chips or sliced jicama and cucumber, but he doubts anyone needs more ideas about how to serve gaucamole.
- 1 large ripe tomato, finely diced
- 2 serrano chiles, minced
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 medium white onion, finely diced
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Salt
- Radish slices, for garnish
- In a medium bowl mix the tomato with the chiles, garlic and cilantro. Stir in the onion.
- Peel and seed the avocados and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash against the side of the bowl, leaving some chunks. Add the tomato mixture and lime juice and season with salt. Let sit for a few minutes, then garnish with radish slices and serve.
