The DINNER PARTY option
A retro avo ritz ... yes, please. Toast a
piece of sourdough, smash an avo
and spread thickly. Now add your
cooked, peeled prawns, and drizzle
with homemade Marie Rose sauce.
Simply mix 100ml good quality mayo
with a heaped tablespoon of tomato
sauce, add a dash each of Tabasco
and Worcestershire sauce and a shake
of cayenne pepper. Squeeze in some
lemon juice and add a touch (just a
teaspoon or so) of brandy or sherry.
Or cheat, and buy the prawn cocktail
tub from Woolies. Sprinkle with a little
cayenne pepper.
The FRUITY options
Toast health bread, top with smashed
avo, then add thinly sliced strawberries,
a scattering of toasted coconut flakes,
a drizzle of honey and a generous
grind of black pepper.
Toast ciabatta bread, top with smashed
avo. Add some thin slices of ripebut-still-firm
pear, then crumbed
blue cheese or Gorgonzola. Top with
roasted walnuts and a drizzle of honey
