THE SHOCK INGREDIENTS

I thought I'd share with you this variant on the traditional Guacamole I knocked up last night:

I didn't expect to taste the basil but it really shone through very strongly. I put this down to its strong affinity to tomato.

Also I was concerned the pepper would spoil the other flavour but its aroma blended in to produced a slightly sweeter aftertaste.
