Guacamole is a very easy-to-make, fresh and healthy Mexican delight. It's also vegan, and budget-friendly. This dish is the perfect way to start your day.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocado
- 1 lime
- 1 fresh red chilli
- Half bulb of red onion
- cloves of garlic
- Half bell pepper
- 1 tomato
- Fresh coriander
- 1 egg
Method
- First we need to cut our avocados in half, with the help of a knife, and take out the seed. Then with a spoon, we can scoop out the avocados and put them in a bowl. Mash them up with a fork till you get a rustic creamy texture.
- Chop your red onion, chilli and bell pepper into tiny (1cm) pieces and put them in your avocado paste.
- Cut one tomato into wedges and with a knife, take out the soft part with the seeds and cut them into small pieces. Chop a little bunch of coriander roughly and add them to your bowl. Squeeze a good dash of fresh lime in the guacamole and add salt and pepper by taste. Give it a good stir and your guacamole is done.
- In the meantime, put a small pot of water to boil. Then reduce the heat, we need the water to simmer softly. Give a little stir to make a little whirlpool in the middle of the pot, then break your egg and gently put it in the water and cook it for about 3-4 minutes. Some people like to put a dash of vinegar in the water but is not essential.
- Warm up your breakfast muffins and cut them in half. Spread a thick layer of guacamole, then gently put your poached egg on top. Enjoy!
