GUACAMOLE
This guacamole is the definitive recipe, adapted from Josefina Howard, the chef at the original Rosa Mexicano restaurant in Manhattan. It is dead simple and easily scaled to serve a crowd, which is good, because you'll need a lot of it - even if you're the only one partaking.

Steps:
- In a medium-size bowl, mortar or a Mexican molcajete (lava stone mortar), thoroughly mash 1 tablespoon of the onion with the chili, 1/2 teaspoon cilantro and the salt to make a paste.
- Cut the tomato in half horizontally, squeeze out the juice and seeds and discard. Chop pulp, and add it to the bowl.
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, cutting around the pit. Gently twist the top half of the avocado off to separate the halves. Carefully rap the pit with the edge of a sharp knife and twist it out. Using a paring knife slice the avocado flesh of both halves lengthwise, then crosswise, cutting down to the skin, to form a grid. Scoop the avocado into the bowl with a spoon.
- Add the remaining onion and cilantro, and gently fold all the ingredients together. Season with more chili and salt if desired. Serve at once with tortilla chips.

Steps:
- 1. Combine 1 tablespoon of the chopped onions, ½ teaspoon of the chopped jalapeno and ½ teaspoon of the cilantro with ½ teaspoon of salt in the molcajete (a lava stone bowl used for grinding and mixing).
- 2. With the back of a wooden spoon (the salt and the stone help in grinding), mash these ingredients into a paste. This releases the juices within. Split the avocado in half, then remove the seed. Slice the avocado lengthwise in about 1/8-1/4 inch strips, and then across, forming a grid.
- 3. Scoop the avocado out of the skin with a spoon (never mash or scrape it).
- 4. Add the avocado to the paste in the molcajete and fold to combine thoroughly. Add the other ingredients, folding gently, taking care not to mash the guacamole.*** Add jalapenos and salt to taste. Serve with corn tortillas and chips.
- 5. * Only Haas avocados from California, with a dark green bumpy skin, perfectly ripened for rich flavor. ** The tomatoes must be perfectly ripened. *** Mixing the ingredients rather than mashing them leaves the guacamole chunky and somewhat firm, not mushy.
