Recipe of the Month - Fiery Avocado Spread

 

This spread is great in sandwiches, especially in a crusty roll with some fresh, crisp iceberg lettuce.  Have some tortilla chips on the side!

 Vegan and gluten free recipe.

1 small red chilli, finely chopped

1 tblsp lime juice
2 ripe avocados, peeled and stoned
1/4 cucumber, chopped small
2 tomatoes, grated*
1 clove garlic, crushed
small dash of tobasco sauce (optional)

salt and pepper


*Grate the tomatoes, by cutting them in half, then rubbing them on the large holes of a box grater, discarding the skin when all the flesh is grated.

Roughly chop the avocado and place in a bowl.  Add the chilli, garlic and lime juice.  Mash the avocado with a fork until fairly smooth.

 

Add the cucumber and tomatoes and mix well.  Then add the tobasco, salt and pepper to taste, then mix well again.

 

Use as soon as possible.
