Make food
Avocados
Yay summer's approaching - food options are so great in the summer. Food preparation is so quick - tasty salads can be tossed together in a flash, the fruits are so tasty and, in NZ, relatively cheap. Seafood is plentiful and fresh...and avocados are in! They're the thing to have when you've got a bit of a barbie happening in your backyard and you need a quick dip to go with the endless bags of crisps... and it's so easy.
Quick guacamole
1 avocado, seed removed
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1 tomato, seeded and finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 wedge of lemon
salt and pepper to taste
Using the back of a spoon, crush the avocado to a paste. Consistency can be as chunky or smooth as you like. Combine with the chopped red onion, tomato, crushed garlic and lemon juice (lemon juice helps prevent the avocado going a nasty shade of brown). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ta da... this is best prepared immediately before serving. Serve with fresh bread or chips - whatever you need a dip for really! Personally I go for Abe's bagel crips or the Pita crisps - garlic and sesame seed. Mmmm.
