Tomato & Avocado Towers
Ingredients
Serves 4- 3 avocados - chopped
- 6 large tomatoes - chopped
- 6 spring onions - thinly sliced
- 1 small red chilli - finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Handful fresh basil - chopped Tomato sauce
- 1 x 400 (14oz) can tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 small red chilli To garnish
- 4 slices of very thinly cut toast, or store-bought Melba toast
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- Handful fresh parsley - chopped small
Method
- Put chopped tomatoes, basil, and chilli in a bowl and mix well. In another bowl, chop the avocados with the lemon juice and add sliced spring onions. Mix well.
- To make the tomato sauce, place all three ingredients in a blender or food processor and whiz until smooth. Leave aside in a bowl..
- Make one tower per person. If you don't have a professional serving ring you can make your own by cutting the top and bottom off a 400g tin/can to use as a frame. Place serving ring/tin in the middle of each dining plate and spoon in a layer of the avocado mix then the tomato mix. Lift the ring off - carefully! - leaving a tower.
- Spoon the tomato sauce around each tower. Top the tower with a quarter of toast and drizzle with a little sesame oil. Sprinkle with a little parsley, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Recipe by Animal Aid www.animalaid.org.uk
