The University of Oklahoma leaked White’s tour rider, which contained a fairly specific recipe for guac. I decided to try it out.

I used to be one of Jack White's biggest fans — I even interviewed him once — until he spewed sexist garbage about me (me, personally!) in Rolling Stone magazine. Since then, I haven't been able to listen to his music without feeling a little queasy.

But when the University of Oklahoma leaked White's tour rider, which includes a very specific guacamole recipe that was to be made and waiting for him before each show, I thought, hey, just because Jack White said he wanted to roll up his song lyrics and shove them in my mouth doesn't mean he doesn't know his way around an avocado.

I decided to give the recipe a go to see if it was actually any good, or if White should stick to guitar solos.

Here's Jack White's rider containing the recipe:

8 x large, ripe Haas avocados (cut in half the long way, remove the pit—SAVE THE PIT THOUGH—, and dice into large cubes with a butter knife. 3 or 4 slits down, 3 or 4 across. You'll scoop out the chunks with a spoon, careful to main the avocado in fairly large chunks.)

4 x vine-ripened tomatoes (diced)

½ x yellow onion (finely chopped)

1 x full bunch cilantro (chopped)

4 x Serrano peppers (de-veined and chopped)

1 x lime

Salt & pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, careful not to mush the avocados too much. We want it chunky. Once properly mixed and tested, add the pits into the guacamole and even out the top with a spoon or spatula. Add ½ lime to the top later so you cover move of the surface with the juice (The pits and lime will keep it from browning prematurely.) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until served. Please don't make it too early before it's served. We'd love to have it around 5 pm.
