Jamie's Top Tips

1. If you have trouble removing the stones from your avocados, use a spoon to help you scoop it out. To keep things safe, never use a knife to do this.
3. If you’re a chile fan, like me, then you can dial up the heat by leaving the seeds in or by sprinkling over some chile flakes before serving.
5. Make sure you use ripe avocadoes – if your avocadoes are still firm, leave them at room temperature until they soften up.

PREPARATION

1. Squeeze a handful of cherry tomatoes on to the biggest board you have.

2. Halve and deseed the chile, then roughly chop it along with the tomatoes.

3. Add the coriander (stalks and all) and chop it into the mix.

4. Halve and remove avocado pit, then squeeze over a board so the flesh comes out of the skins. Discard the skin.

5. Add a pinch of salt, squeeze over the juice of 2 limes and chop everything together until fine.

6. Taste and adjust the flavours if needed, then use your knife to sweep everything to one side of the board.

7. Cut the ½ bulb of fennel into wedges, if using. If not substitute more of another vegetable. Peel the carrot, quarter lengthways and cut into sticks, then do the same with the cucumber. Sprinkle over a pinch of salt, then arrange the vegetables next to the guacamole. Put a handful of bread sticks into a glass and take them to the table with the board of guacamole.
