In Mexico City we meet Sol, an excellent cook and a Mezcal expert – just the person to give us a few hot tips about Mexican cuisine! When we tell her about our cookbook project she quickly throws together a barbeque on the roof terrace and together, we cook up a royal feast.

Here’s a heavenly guacamole to add some Mexican flavor to your next dinner party.

Sol’s original Mexican guacamole (Serves 4)

Utensils:

Measuring spoon, pestle, large bowl, lime press (if you have one), kitchen knife, cutting board

Ingredients:

3 ripe avocados, 3 juicy limes, 1 squirt of extra virgin olive oil, 1 medium white onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tomato, 1-2 jalapeños (depending on your capacity for heat), 1 small bunch of fresh coriander (cilantro), 1 pinch of sea salt, something for dipping, like tortilla chips or tostadas. Raw vegetable sticks work well, too.
