Stacey's Guacamole

            3    Large Avocados

           ½    Onion

             1    Garlic Cloves, minced

     1 or 2    Serrano Chiles

  1 bunch    Cilantro

             1    Lemon

                  Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

1.      Cut avocados into quarters around pit, gently twist into halves and remove pit.  Peel skin and discard off of each quarter, then dice into bowl.  Cut lemon in half and generously squeeze lemon juice over the avocado, gently stir to coat.

2.      Remove and discard outer skin and yellow core of the onion, then finely mince onion and garlic clove.  Add to avocado.

3.      Wearing gloves mince the Serrano chiles.  For milder guacamole, first remove the seeds and stems of the chile before mincing.  Add to mixture.

4.      Remove the majority of the stems from the cilantro, and then chop finely.  Add to mixture.

5.      Stir mixture together with a fork, adding more lemon juice and salt & pepper to taste.  For best flavor cover and let sit for a half hour.
