Cut the avocados in two and remove the stone. Peel by pushing fingers between skin and flesh from the bottom up. Scrape the remaining flesh from the skin with a spoon. Crush flesh roughly and put in the bowl of a mixer.
Plunge the tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds to loosen the skin, then peel. Cut into 4 and remove seeds. Purée in a blender.
Peel onion and chop roughly. Add to tomatoes and blend to a purée again.
Chop coriander leaf finely.
Add all ingredients to mixing bowl and mix until a rough purée. The result shouldn't be too smooth.
This is a fairly typical recipe for guacamole. There's more in the Wikibooks cookbook. Many omit onions, but I find that a mistake.
Guacamole darkens in air. Keep covered as much as possible.
Total quantity is slightly less than the original weight of the avocados, in this case about 960 g.
One portion is about 60 g, for us at least.
