  • About

This famous Mexican avocado mash can be served as a first course with some brown toast, but is usually used as a dip – not a form of eating I particularly favour, but if you do, serve with corn chips or tortillas. Be warned: a hot chilli’s fire is contained in its seeds and pale interior spines. To temper the chilli’s pungency remove both with a sharp knife, but do not touch your face or eyes until you have washed your hands or you will be in agony
