Guacamole

True Mexican guacamole is a study in simplicity and restraint. Made with perfectly ripe Hass avocados, bright lime juice, pungent white onion, fiery serrano chile, and fragrant cilantro, this recipe requires no more and no less. Traditionally prepared in a molcajete (volcanic stone mortar and pestle), which creates the ideal chunky-creamy texture and allows the stone to release subtle mineral flavors. This is a far cry from the over-complicated versions found elsewhere -- authentic guacamole lets the avocado shine.
