I
invented this on the spur of the moment one evening in Trinidad. We
had invited some friends round for drinks and I wanted fairly
substantial nibbles, so that no-one would need to cook more than a
light meal after they left. I had a ripe avocado on board, but none
of the other ingredients for Guacamole, which would have been my
normal choice. However, this recipe worked so well that I reckoned
it was worth adding to the repertoire!
Serves 4 for a starter
1
large, ripe avocado pear
at
least 1/2 cup finely grated cheese
1/4
tsp of hot sauce
1
tbsp lime juice
salt
and pepper
Method:
- Cut the avocado pear in two, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
- Add the grated cheese. A 1/2 cup is sufficient if the cheese is full-flavoured; add more if it’s very mild.
- Blend the avocado and cheese together with a broad-bladed knife, and add the hot sauce – use less if you don’t like your food too spicy.
- Blend in the lime juice and season the mixture. The result should be a soft pâté, almost like a dip.
Variation:
- Use lemon juice, if no lime is available.
