YOU may not feel much like it but it's National Barbecue Week this week. But there’s more to a BBQ than perfectly cooked bangers and big juicy burgers… Try these delicious avocado recipes from Summer Avocados next time you fire up the barbie.
Smoked Mackerel and Avocado Salad
Serves 6
Zest and juice of 2 fresh limes
3 tbls olive oil
1 medium red onion chopped
4 firm ripe tomatoes chopped
half bunch roughly chopped coriander
half cup chopped parsley
2 green chillies chopped
1 clove crushed garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
two fillets of smoked mackerel, grilled and cut into strips
3 firm ripe avocados peeled and diced at the last moment
Place all the ingredients except the avocado into a large bowl and gently mix together, place in the fridge for an hour.
Just before serving stir in the avocado so it keep its shape and doesn’t become too mushy.
