Avocado with Caviar

Avocado is so versatile and yet many people rarely use it except in guacamole or the occasional salad topping. I’ve had avocado ice cream that is amazing, for example, and I think it’s worth trying avocado in more sweet dishes as well as savoury ones.

I made a simple avocado starter the other day. M didn’t like the raw onion in it, so next time I’d caramelise it first, to soften the sharp oniony edge.

Ingredients:
2 avocados (1 avocado per person, or half an avocado if you’re serving this as a starter)
½ half red onion
200 ml sour cream or crème fraiche
60 g caviar (use fish roe if you eat fish or one of the vegetarian substitutes if not, such as the ones made from seaweed)

Instructions:
1. Half the avocados and remove the stones.
2. Dice the red onion. Mix it into the sour cream or crème fraiche and then mix in the caviar.
3. Fill the avocados with the creamy mixture.
