Avocado Suppe
Learnt during my stay in Austria, although it doesn’t have that much of Austrian! I veganized and made it one of my best dishes when I want to amaze curious and fussy palates.
Ingredients:
(serves 2)
1 ripe avocado
1 jar of soy yogurt, 125 ml
100 ml of unflavoured vegetable milk (I used rice)
1 lemon, squeezed
salt and pepper, to taste
chopped parsley, to taste
sesame seeds and oats, to sprinkle
Method:
If the avocado is ripe, almost mushy, just cut it in halves, remove the stone and pass a spoon between the flesh and the skin. Collect the pulp in a saucepan, add milk and yogurt and blend it with the hand blender until smooth. Place it on a very low heat and add lemon juice, parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper.
It isn’t necessary to heat it to much, as it’s very tasty even warm; then, pour it into large bowls and serve it with sesame seeds and a sprinkling of oatmeal.
Comments:
It’s very quick recipe to prepare, and very versatile: it is an excellent appetizer or an unusual side dish with a basmati rice; halving the doses of the liquid ingredients, it may become a thick sauce, to be served with croutons or chips during an aperitif.
The avocado is a very valuable fruit for your health, with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It prevents Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis, helps if you suffer from depression and relieves dermatitis and skin allergies. Rich in vitamin A, E and D, helps the body to absorb calcium, but it slows down the absorption of glucose in the guts.
It has only one defect: it is very rich in calories and fats, then you shouldn’t overindulge, but use it to replace other fats like vegan butter or margarine or oil: 100gr of avocado have the same caloric intake of 40 apples, and you’ll see from this photo that I’m in a period when the weight does play tricks!
