We have an abundance of Avocados here, so it’s great to make something different with them.  Southern Spain has many avocado plantations; I believe (after a little google) Almuñécar had the first commercial Avocado plantation back in 1955!!

They are full of vitamins and nutrients, such as potassium, protein and vitamins; B K C and E. They are good for your body inside and out, I mashed one up and popped on my hair the other day, it does it wonders!  They are definitely one of my favourite fruits; and are technically a single seeded berry!!

This recipe is quick, easy and healthy and also lets the avocados last that little bit longer; if you seal them in an airtight container. 

Ingredients:

2 ripe avocados

3 cups spinach

Juice 1 lemon

Juice 1 lime

1 chilli de-seeded

1/3 cups of nuts (I used a mix of pistachio and pine nuts)

20g fresh basil

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup grated parmesan

1 tsp sea salt

Method:

In a hand blender (I used my smoothie maker) blitz all the ingredients up until smooth.

DONE!!!  

Pop into an airtight sterilised jar and drizzle more oil on the top and seal.

Use mixed into your favourite pasta, spread it over fish or drizzle it over a salad!!

Enjoy
