Folding fruit into guacamole is an inspired tradition in Mexican cooking. Tropical mangoes are a natural pairing, their silky flesh adding a subtle tartness to creamy avocado. To herald the holiday season, pomegranate seeds flash bright red against the guacamoles cilantro-flecked green. Ingredients:
4 ripe avocados (2 pounds total) |
1 cup finely chopped white onion |
2 fresh serrano chiles, finely chopped (2 tablespoons), including seeds |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice, or to taste |
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds (from 1 pomegranate) |
3/4 cup diced peeled mango |
1/2 cup chopped cilantro |
garnish: lime wedges |
Directions:
1. Halve, pit, and peel avocados. Coarsely mash in a bowl. Stir in onion, chiles, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, then fold in pomegranate seeds, mango, and cilantro. Season with salt and additional lime juice.
2. Cooks note: Guacamole can be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, its surface covered with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Bring to room temperature and stir before serving.
