French Guacamole

Description
To find a Frenchman, look for the freshly baked baguette tucked under his arm. Few Parisians manage to make it home without breaking off a chunk and enjoying the warm, yeasty goodness. Perhaps if they knew this savory French-style guacamole awaited them, more baguettes would survive to the front door!

Ingredients

 * 2 California avocados, about 1 pound
 * ½ Tbsp fresh lemon juice
 * 2 Tbsp finely chopped shallot
 * 1 ½ Tbsp dry vermouth
 * 1 Tbsp chopped, fresh tarragon or 1/2 tablespoon dried
 * ½ tsp salt

Directions
Coarsely mash (DO NOT PUREE) avocados

Stir in lemon juice

Fold in remaining ingredients

Guacamole is best made as close to serving as possible. For short-term storage, seal in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the guacamole.
