Ingredients:
Depending on number of guests - let's just start with the basics - then you can multiply!!!1 Ripe avacardo (Do you know how to test for ripeness?) - mashed very well (fork is the best) 1 small onion - peeled & grated (save the juice) 1 medium lemon or lime - juiced Freshly milled (sea) salt & (black)pepper 1 small red chilli - seeded and VERY finely diced (don't forget the gloves!!)1 carton/bottle (300 ml) of pure cream 1+ tablespoon of good egg mayonnaise (eg. SW or your own!!)
Directions:
Always be directed by taste!!!Mix all the ingredients - including the onion juices (except the cream & mayonnaise) together. When you're happy with the taste (tanginess) add the mayonaise and finally the cream to give a good dipping consistency. (Tip - sometimes, lemons/limes don't have the 'sourness' needed for this dip - just add some more juice (bit by bit) until you have the taste you want) This is a very 'unhealthy' dip. Lots of fat from the avacardo, cream & mayonnaise.
But boy!!! Does it taste great!!!!
Using more chilli (Seeded) ands extra 'zing' to your dip. Just remember that you always have to cater for the 'lowest commen denomenator' - there's no use that your more 'outgoing' friends enjoy the dip, when your less adventurous guests smile nicely and don't come back for 'seconds'. COMPRIMISE
