MIDDLE EASTERN AVOCADO PUREE
This recipe is based on one in Ana Sortun's book "Spice: The Flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean." It's like an avocado hummus. Unlike guacamole, which should be chunky, this sauce is smooth. It makes a great dip for pita bread or vegetables.

Steps:
- Place the garlic in a mortar and pestle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and mash to a smooth paste. Cut the avocados in half, pit them and scoop out from the skins. Add to the mortar and pestle, and mash together with the garlic until the mixture is smooth. Work in the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin and additional salt to taste.
- Scrape into a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap, setting the wrap right on top of the avocado. Refrigerate until ready to use.

GUACAMOLE
Everybody loves guacamole, and everyone has an opinion as to what an authentic guacamole should be. I leave it up to you whether to add onion and chile - but please don't make it in a food processor. Guacamole should have texture; use a fork or a mortar and pestle to mash the avocados.

Steps:
- If you are including onion in your guacamole, place the onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for five minutes, then drain, rinse and dry on paper towels.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop out the flesh. Mash in a mortar and pestle or with a fork. Do not use a food processor. Add the chopped tomatoes and lime juice, and continue to mash. Stir in the onion, garlic, cumin, chile and salt to taste. Taste and adjust seasonings. If not using right away, cover with plastic, placing it directly on top of the guacamole. Stir before serving to restore the green color.
