   3                    California avocadoes
   1                    poblano chile
   2                    serrano chiles
   1      small         white onion
   3      cloves        garlic
   3                    juice of 2-3 lemons
     1/4  teaspoon      powdered cumin
   1      teaspoon      Tabasco sauce
   1                    salt to taste
 

Preparation:

Roast the poblano chile over a low flame (or under a broiler) until the skin begins to char and blister. Place in a paper bag and let set for a few minutes. While the poblano is 'steaming', mince the onion and place in a large bowl. De-seed and scoop out the avocadoes, taking care to discard any brown portions Place the avocado in bowl with onion and pound into slightly lumpy paste. Take the poblano chile out of the bag and peel it, removing the stem, seeds, and internal membranes. Remove the stem end of the serranos Peel the garlic cloves. Place the poblano, serranos, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and Tabasco sauce in a blender and whiz until pureed. Add this to the avocado/onion mixture in the large bowl and mix thoroughly. The flavor blends better if the guacamole is left in the refrigerator for an hour or two before serving. There are at least as many variations of Guacamole as there are people who make it, but this version may offend some purists, hence the name. This recipe is the result of experimentation with the basic guacamole recipe. I personally prefer more cumin in it, but you don't want the result to taste more like bean dip than guacamole. Never use Florida avocadoes for guacamole -- you'll get a watery green p
