Avacado Choka
8 minute recipe for Avacado Choka.
This is really a great recipe as well it is healthy, quick and easy. It
was created in one of the most southernly island in the caribbean -
Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies to be exact. I was first introduced to
it by my step son - Kevin Vialva he was about 12 years old when he gave
me the recipe.
It can be eaten for breakfast, a light lunch or
light dinner. The only thing is if you are having this meal for lunch,
of course you would have to prepare it in advance. The problem is the
fruit turns black, after a while when it is exposed to oxygen, if it is
not eaten soon after it is prepared.
So my recommendaiton is if you decide to have this
meal for lunch, pack all your ingredients in your lunch bag and prepare
the meal at your work place - it's that easy!!
Tip: I recently found out that
adding a few drops of lemon to this dish would solve the problem of the
fruit turning black.
Ingredients
1 avacado
salt
black pepper
pepper sauce (optional)
1 sliced onion
1 sliced tomato
1 boiled egg
Method
When Kevin gave me this recipe, he did not put tomatoes or eggs in it
but of course with my experimenting mind, I decided to include them in
the recipe. You would be amazed at the results with the combination of
color red, green and yellow.
Okay let's go - cut the avacado in half, remove
the seed. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the 'meat' of the fruit. Now
cut up the 'meat' into small pieces and place into a bowl. Add some
salt, black pepper and pepper sauce (optional). Cut up the sliced
tomatoes in to smaller pieces and dice the hard boiled egg. Add the
tomatoes, diced egg and sliced onion to the bowl. Mix well. Done!!!
Serve your Avacado Choka with
any bread of your choice.
Preparation time - 8 minutes
