I was walking through the supermarket in Wellington yesterday and noticed that avocados are one dollar each! 

So let’s make the most of this time and go avocado mad!

Avocado hung yoghurt

1 ltr plain yogurt     

2 avocado

1 lemon

salt and white pepper

 

Place the yoghurt into a damp tea towel and hang over a container in the fridge allowing it to drip overnight

Place the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and cover with the juice of the lemon. Season with salt and pepper and smash with a masher until smooth

Add the hung yoghurt and continue to smash

Store covered with a tight layer of Clingfilm to ensure the yogurt doesn’t brown

Add to any salad, piece of cooked fish or pretty much anything in need of a wonderful sour kick

Avocado salsa                                                                

1/4 telegraph cucumber            

1 Tbsp capers                                                                      

1 Tbsp Italian parsley                           

1/2 lemon, juiced and zested

1 Tbs red onion, finely diced

1 Tbsp Grove extra virgin avocado oil

1 avocado, diced

Salt and pepper                          

 

Diced the avocado into small diced and soak in the juice lemon with 1/4 cup of lightly salted water for a minute. Drain 

Diced all the rest of the ingredients and combine. 

Moisten with avocado oil

Serve with pretty much everything, works really well with white fish, paua and roasted chicken!
