California Guacamole

In a bowl, coarsely mash the California Avocado and stir with half of the lemon juice.
Add the jalapeño, tomato, garlic, red onion and cilantro, stir to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Season with remaining lemon juice as desired.

Fire Roasted Salsa

Coat the tomatoes, jalapeño and red onion with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on a wood fired grill and grill until charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill (tomatoes will cook first, followed by the jalapeño and red onion).
Chop the onion and tomato and place in blender. Cut the jalapeño in half; remove the seeds and white membrane and add the jalapeño flesh to the blender. Pureé.
Season with lime juice and salt.

Salsa Fresca

Combine the tomato, red onion and jalapeño in a mixing bowl. Add the cilantro.
Season with salt and lime juice. Chill.

Braised Cranberry Beans

Place the beans in a pot and add cold water, enough to cover the beans by 1 inch.
Over medium heat, bring to a boil.
At the same time, in a sauté pan, coat the pan with olive oil reserving the rest of the olive oil for seasoning the cooked beans. Add the chopped carrot, celery and onion.
Then add the garlic and sauté until all are browned. Add to the pot of beans.
Reduce the heat on the beans to a low simmer and cook for about 1 hour until the beans are cooked through. Add water as necessary.
Once the beans are cooked through, remove from the heat and season with salt, reserved olive oil and juice of the lemons. Crack the basil sprigs with the back of a chef knife and add to the beans. Allow beans to cool to room temperature and chill.
Remove carrot, celery, onion, garlic and basil before preparing the Twice Cooked Cranberry Beans.

Twice Cooked Cranberry Beans

In a sauce pot, heat the olive oil then add the onion and salt, cook until soft and translucent.
Add the cranberry beans and their liquid. Bring to a simmer and season with coriander and cumin. Transfer all to a food processor and pulse until the beans are partially puréed.
