Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
  2. Mash the flesh with a fork in a bowl until you get a fairly smooth purée, leaving a few pieces for texture.
  3. Add the lime juice, salt and pepper, then mix so the avocado doesn't turn dark.
  4. Stir in the chopped onion, the tomato and the chilli if you're using them, then mix gently.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve straight away with toasted bread or on boiled cassava.

Variations and tips

Herb version. Add a good handful of chopped fresh coriander and a drizzle of groundnut oil for a fresher taste.

With what's available here. If the avocado isn't ripe enough, mash it with a spoonful of plain yoghurt to soften the texture.
