Ingredients

  • 1 large or 2 small ripe avocados
  • A couple of garlic cloves (or less if you don’t like garlic), crushed
  • A whole bulb of garlic, cut in half sideways, then roasted until brown (optional, for additional garnish and eating!)
  • Salt and pepper
  • A variety of toppings and antipasti of your choice such as sundried tomatoes, chopped olives, figs, grapes
  • Some nuts or seeds. Walnuts are Christmassy and tasty. Keep some whole for garnish
  • Fresh chopped herbs of choice – I love mint here
  • Lemon or lime juice
  • Bread sticks, broken crackers and vegetable sticks (to serve)

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Smash up your avocado(s) with the garlic, salt and pepper. Spread it across a chopping board and make some dents with the back of a spoon to give it a nice texture.

Step 2

Add the various antipasti and toppings to the avocado spread

Step 3

Place the halved garlic bulbs at each end

Step 4

Sprinkle on chopped nuts or seeds. Put a few whole walnuts near the garlic bulbs for decoration

Step 5

Sprinkle on the fresh herbs

Step 6

Squeeze over lemon or lime juice to stop the avocado going brown

Step 7

Serve with crackers, bread sticks and vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
