Guacamole with Anaheim and Two Mandarins

1 large avocado

1 Anaheim chile

2 Mandarins

Directions: Wash and dry all produce.

Roast chile on stove top. When skin of chile is blackened, remove chile to a cutting board to cool. Cover chile with a bowl. This helps the skin to loosen.

Meanwhile, peel and dice the two Mandarins, a small, sweet citrus fruit, and place in bowl.

Rinse the chile under cool water and remove the skin. Place on cutting board and remove seeds and veins to taste. Dice and add to Mandarins.

On a cutting board, slice the avocado in half. Wash the knife. Remove the pit. Score the fruit in each half vertically and horizontally. Using a spoon, scoop the fruit out of each half shell and add to the bowl with the tomato and the citrus. Smash avocado with a fork and mix the three ingredients together.

This version of guacamole has a bright citrus taste.

Serves 4 people.
