Guacamole ranks way up there on my top favorite foods list. I mean waaay up there. When I saw a recipe from The New York Times Cooking for from Rosa Mexicano restaurant in Manhattan that was five stars, I knew I had to try it.

One thing that I liked about the chunky guacamole recipe was that there was no lime in the ingredient list. I occasionally put lime in my guacamole, but most times I skip it so the avocado shines. Another reason is that guac is eaten so fast at my house that there’s no chance of it turning brown. I rarely add tomato in my guac, which this recipe does. However, the seeds and juice are removed when means it won’t add moisture to the guacamole. A plus in my book. I love a good thick, dense guacamole, not too airy or watery.
To make this restaurant’s guacamole at home you will need onion, serrano peppers, fresh cilantro, salt, a tomato and a ripe avocado. Some of the onion and cilantro and a bit of salt are mashed into a paste before the other ingredients are added. The result is a chunky guacamole full of flavor, yet simple. Perfection.
