Questions about Guacamole
How do you stop guacamole going brown?
Press cling film directly onto the surface so little air reaches it, then cover and refrigerate. A squeeze of lime helps slow browning, but stir it in just before serving if you want the guacamole to stay bright.
How do you make simple guacamole?
Mash ripe avocado with lime juice and salt, leaving a little texture. Fold in finely chopped onion, tomato, fresh coriander and chilli; add the chilli gradually so you can control the heat.
How long does guacamole keep in the fridge?
Keep it covered in an airtight container and refrigerate promptly; it is best eaten within a day or two, before the surface darkens and the flavour fades. Discard it if it has been left at room temperature for more than two hours.
Can you freeze guacamole?
Yes, though it may turn softer and watery after thawing. Freeze it in a small airtight container with the surface pressed flat, then thaw it overnight in the fridge and stir in fresh lime or coriander before serving.
What do you serve with guacamole?
Serve it with tortilla crisps, tacos, fajitas or grilled vegetables, or spread it in a sandwich or wrap. For a simple dip platter, pair it with salsa and crisp strips of pepper, cucumber or carrot.
What can you use instead of lime in guacamole?
Lemon juice gives a similar sharpness and helps slow browning. If you have neither, a little mild vinegar can add acidity, but use less and taste as you go so it does not overpower the avocado.
Is guacamole usually spicy?
Not necessarily: chilli is common, but it is easy to leave out. For a milder version, remove the seeds and pale ribs from the chilli, then add just a little at a time.
