There's nothing quite this mouth-watering dip on a crisp, breadstick or piece of pitta, and along with its simplicity this is why it's one of the vanishingly small number of recipes I know by heart. An old Rose Elliot recipe, it's been the star of every party I've held since as long as I can remember...
Here's what you'll need to make it:
1 ripe avocado
1 lemon
1 clove of garlic
1 200g tub of Philadelphia or similar cream cheese ('light' versions work fine)
Tabasco Sauce
Paprika
Salt and Pepper
fork or (ideally) a potato masher
And here's what you'll need to do:

I like to keep my dip slightly chunky, so don't worry if there are a few bits left in the mix.
Next, add the cream cheese, a few blobs at a time. 100g should be enough, but for a larger avocado you can use 150 or even 200 depending on how creamy you want it.

Using a spoon, decant the dip into small bowls and garnish with a few shakes of paprika.
Bring on the breadsticks and serve!
Will everyone think I'm weird if I admit to not liking avocado? I expect you will.
ReplyDeleteNot really...they are an acquired taste!
ReplyDelete*whispers* I've never liked Avocado.
ReplyDeleteWhich is a shame because this recipe sounds yum.
I love avocado...but I used to hate it. It's definitely one of those love / hate things. Good fats though, kids!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Avocados. Particularly with bacon and chicken between two slices of bread.
ReplyDeleteAbs-this recipe looks delicious. I'm a sucker for dips at this time of year, so I'll definitely be making it!
Now, to an avocado idiot like me, what's the difference between this is guacamole?
ReplyDeletesiany> guac has no cheese in it and I think it often has some other chilli-like spice too...
