Summer is finally in London… and its time to eat light and easy dishes that do not required much work on the hob in the kitchen.
As you may know now I really like avocado, here some of the reasons (Wikipedia helped me with this because I had forgotten the figures):
- About 75% of an avocado’s calories come from fat, most of which is monounsaturated fat.
- On a 100 g basis, avocados have 35% more potassium (485 mg) than bananas (358 mg). They are rich in B vitamins, as well as vitamin E and vitamin K.
- Avocados have a high fibre content of 75% insoluble and 25% soluble fibre.
Last week I bought a whole bowl for a pound in one of the little shops near home and I was thinking to try something different from the well-known Guacamole we made some time ago.
In my recent trip to Spain I bought some Queso tierno and Jamon serrano (and some other good stuff: recipes to follow) so I decided to give it a go and combine those flavours in this easy skewer.
I miss these items so much so I always try to stock up on them when I head to Spain. Tim usually does the same when he heads back to Wales as well (although he tends to just bring beer back!)
