Avocado paste is a delicious and nutritious appetizer, perfect for adding a fresh touch to your meals. With a rich content of healthy fats and vitamins, this simple recipe is ideal for a quick snack or to impress your guests. The total preparation time is about 15 minutes, and the recipe yields 4 servings. Ingredients: - 1 fresh avocado - 3 tablespoons yogurt (preferably Greek for a creamy texture) - Juice from 1/2 lemon - 2 hard-boiled eggs - 2 cloves of garlic - 1 small onion (preferably green onion for a sweeter taste) - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil - Chopped fresh dill (fresh or frozen) - Salt and pepper to taste Preparation: 1. Start by peeling the avocado. Cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl with a spoon. Make sure the avocado is well-ripened to achieve a smooth paste. An unripe avocado will make it difficult to mash. 2. Using a blender or an immersion mixer, mash the avocado until it becomes a smooth paste. If you prefer a less fine texture, you can mash it manually with a fork. 3. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic. The garlic will give it a strong flavor, so adjust the amount according to your preferences. Blend again until the ingredients are well combined. 4. Sprinkle in the lemon juice. The lemon not only adds a fresh note but also helps prevent the avocado from oxidizing, keeping its vibrant color. 5. Add the diced hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, and chopped dill. Mix with a spatula or with the mixer on low speed to avoid completely breaking down the texture of the eggs. 6. Finally, add the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. The olive oil will add a touch of richness and pleasant flavor, but you can skip this step if you prefer a lighter version. 7. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the paste seems too thick, you can add a bit more yogurt or water. Serving: Avocado paste is versatile and can be served in various ways. You can spread it on toasted bread slices or crackers for a quick appetizer, or use it as a filling for rolls with fresh vegetables. You can also add a few slices of tomatoes or cucumbers for a colorful look and extra flavor. Possible variations: To add an interesting twist, you can include spices like paprika or even a little soy sauce for an umami flavor. You can also replace the yogurt with cottage cheese or tofu for a vegan option. Enjoy this avocado paste with friends and family and experiment with your favorite ingredients to create the perfect version for your tastes!
