1 garlic cloves puréed (optional)
2 teaspoon finely chopped white onion or green/spring onion
1 or 2 Jalapeños, seeded and minced

lemon juice. Add all remaining ingredients. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Serve at once.
If you have to refrigerate guacamole, cover it with cling film or plastic
wrap, placing the wrap directly on the surface. Contact with air will
tend todiscolour darken the guacamole.
Guacamole can range from hot to very mild. Obviously, the heat depends
upon the quantity of jalapeños used. And some chillies are hotter
than others, so experiment to determine your favorite proportion of ingredients.
Variations:
Add 125g or 4oz of tomatoes skinned seeded and chopped
Replace the jalapeños with serrano chillies
