    A really simple recipe packed with goodness. I think adding garlic and toasted pine nuts will add more flavour as it was a little bland.

    I had never considered doing anything like this but love to use avacado because of the health benefits (we usually end up making guacamole), anyway this was so simple to make and really delicious! Recommended!

    I'd never have thought of doing this. It's so quick and tasty, especially witha bit of chorizo added.
