This recipe is from my father-in-law Ronald. He makes it every Superbowl Sunday. It is quite delicious. I believe he got it from Cooks Illustrated: Home.
To minimize the risk discoloration, prepare the minced ingredients first so they are ready to mix with the avocados as soon as they are cut.
3 medium avocados, ripe, (preferably Hass)
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 medium clove garlic, minced
1 small jalapeño chile, minced (1 to 1/2 teaspoons)
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
1. Halve one avocado, remove pit, and scoop flesh into medium bowl. Mash flesh lightly with onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin (if using) with tines of a fork until just combined.
2. Halve and pit remaining two avocados, and prepare. Gently scoop out avocado into bowl with mashed avocado mixture.
3. Sprinkle lime juice over diced avocado and mix entire contents of bowl lightly with fork until combined but still chunky. Adjust seasoning with salt, if necessary, and serve. (Can be covered with plastic wrap, pressed directly onto surface of mixture, and refrigerate up to one day. Return guacamole to room temperature, removing plastic wrap at the last moment, before serving.)
