Your guests will go mad for David Prior's Mexican-inspired guacamole.

3 limes
2 jalapeno chillies, seeds removed, finely chopped
2 spring onions, finely chopped
3 large avocados
1 canned tomatillo (Mexican tomato), husk removed, or green or red tomato, chopped (see note)
1/2 cup roughly chopped coriander leaves
Lightly salted corn chips, to serve

Method

1.

Roll limes on a hard surface with the palm of your hand to help release juice before squeezing into a bowl. Add chilli and spring onion and stand for 5 minutes (this will take the sharp edge off the chilli).
2.

Scoop the flesh of the avocados into a large mortar and pestle. Add chopped tomatillo or tomato, coriander, lime juice mixture and a pinch of sea salt, then roughly mash - it should be chunky and robust, not fine and smooth.
3.

Serve the guacamole with corn chips.
