A brief story about avocado

Originating from tropical regions, avocado has quickly become a popular ingredient worldwide due to its creamy texture and nutritional benefits. It is an excellent source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Combined with JOYA Soygurt, we get a recipe that is not only delicious but also good for your health.

Necessary ingredients

- 1 ripe avocado (choose one that yields slightly to pressure)
- 1/2 cup JOYA Soygurt natural (for a creamy texture and delicious taste)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (for an extra touch of freshness)
- 1 clove of garlic (finely chopped, but you can adjust the amount to your taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Ground nutmeg (optional, for a flavorful note)
- Ground cloves (optional, for an exotic taste)

Preparation steps

1. Preparing the avocado: Start by cutting the avocado in half lengthwise. Use a sharp knife to avoid accidents. Carefully remove the pit. With a spoon, scoop the flesh out of the skin and place it in a bowl.

2. Mash the avocado: Use a fork to mash the avocado flesh until it becomes a smooth paste. If you prefer a more uniform texture, you can use a blender to achieve a fine puree.

3. Add the ingredients: To the avocado puree, add JOYA Soygurt, lemon juice, and finely chopped garlic. Mix well until the ingredients are combined. It's important to adjust the taste as you go, so feel free to stop and taste.

4. Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg (if desired) into the mixture. You can also add a little ground cloves for a more exotic flavor. Mix again to ensure all the flavors are well integrated.

5. Taste and adjust: Taste the dish and adjust the seasonings to your liking. If you prefer a stronger flavor, add more garlic or lemon juice.

6. Serving: Transfer the appetizer to a serving bowl and garnish with a few slices of avocado or a drizzle of olive oil. You can serve it alongside tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or on toasted bread.

Useful tips

- Choose a ripe avocado, but not too soft. If you're unsure, it's best to select one that is slightly firm to the touch.
- If you have leftover unripe avocado, you can wrap the pit in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge to use later.
- JOYA Soygurt is a healthy alternative to traditional yogurt, ideal for vegans and those with lactose intolerance.

Variations and combinations

This appetizer can be customized according to your tastes. You can add fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, for a fresh flavor. You can also experiment with Eastern spices, such as cumin or smoked paprika, to give it an interesting twist.

Frequently asked questions

- Can it be prepared in advance?: Yes, you can prepare the appetizer a few hours before serving. Make sure to cover it well to prevent the avocado from oxidizing.
- Can I use another type of yogurt?: Of course! If you don't have JOYA Soygurt, you can use Greek yogurt for a denser consistency or any other type of yogurt you prefer.
