THE BEST GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
• Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.

CHUNKY GUACAMOLE

Add the remaining ingredients, and fold everything together to gently mix. Lay a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

CARIBBEAN STYLE GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Using a mortar and pestle, crush the scotch bonnet pepper, garlic and salt into a somewhat smooth paste. Then place this wicked spicy paste into a deep bowl and add the peeled and diced avocado to it. Using the back of a fork, crush the avocado until you have a chunky texture (you can make it as smooth as you like). To prevent the avocado from going discolored, squeeze in the lime juice at this point and give it a good stir.
• It's now time to peel and cube the mango. Be sure to get a mango that's not fully ripe, so it's firm enough to dice and will not fall apart. You'll need about 1/2 of a large mango. Add the cubed mango to the bowl.
• Add the chopped shado beni (or cilantro) and top with finely diced onion. Don't stir yet.
• Heat the oil on a medium flame and just before you start seeing smoke... pour it directly on the diced onions. This will help take some of the rawness out, so you won't have karate breath after. Give it a good stir and serve or chill in the fridge. Get some corn chips or toast some flat bread and your guests will be praising you for sure!
• There's enough dip with this recipe for a small group of people (8-10) and it can last up to a day or so in the refrigerator. Remember to use the lime juice to prevent it going nasty looking (lemon works just as well). If you love heat, do add a bit more of the scotch bonnet pepper.
