OK, here goes! The first recipe I am blogging was chosen because my sister texted me from Sainsburys' today to get the recipe - we had it at a family weekend, and believe me, if she likes it then it must be delicious as she is a bit of a foodie! In fact it went down well with everyone, including the children.
It is taken from DELIA SMITHS Winter Collection - I know, I've had it ages and it's a staple.
It's the Salsa part of the Winter Black Bean Chilli recipe (ignore the chilli bit and just tuck into the salsa when Detoxing) I use it as a side salad or for lunch I mix with short grain brown rice and if I'm particularly hungry then I add tuna or salmon or smoked mackerel....
So (serves 4)
2 large firm tomatoes peeled, deeseeded and chopped (pour boiling water over toms and wait 1 min and the skins peel of easily)
1 ripe firm avocado, peeled and diced
1 small red onion peeled and diced
large handful of fresh coriander leaves, stalks removed
Juice of a lime and a few drops of Tabasco plus fresh black pepper.
Mix all together in a bowl and tuck in. It will keep in the fridge and shouldn't go soggy if you make sure you peel and deseed the toms first.
Your comments...Are avocados on the list of foods that can be eaten. I'm reading your book at the moment. From reading your blog you are continually modifying and updating as you learn new things :-)
According to the 30 day detox book so is Avocado and so is the processed Tabasco........Jane some guidance would be great :)
This sounds lovely but I thought tomatos were off limits?
