Not Really a Recipe #1... Avocado on Toast

This is not a recipe, just something I wanted to share.



Toast some wholegrain bread. With a fork, mash avocado, place on toast. Top with a poached or sunny side-up egg. Salt and pepper. I sprinkled a little sumac on it to give it some brightness.


If you don't know what sumac is, it's the berry of a bush that grows in the Mediterranean and Middle East. It has a tart, fruity flavour and is used in the same way as lemons. It comes in ground form.


Makes a nice breakfast or light lunch.
Enjoy!

Guacamole

I came home from work last night and really didn't feel like cooking anything so I decided to make guacamole because I had some really nice, ripe avocados sitting on my counter. 

This isn't a recipe per se. I just wanted to share it with you. 

Guacamole

2-3 ripe but firm avocados
1 small red onion, chopped
handful cilantro, chopped
1/2 jalapeño, finely chopped
juice of 2 limes
salt and pepper to taste

Put everything in a bowl and mix. I like pretty chunky so I don't mash it too much but you can mash it to the consistency you prefer. Serve with tortillas chips.


Enjoy!
