Avocado recipes

Scrambled egg and roasted tomato with crispy, smashed avocado-stuffed baguettes

20 minutes

Spicy tomato granita

Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

4 T vodka
3 cups tomato juice
1 chilli, chopped
1 cucumber
2 sticks celery
12 cherry tomatoes, to garnish
Freshly ground black pepper, to serve

Method

1. Mix together the vodka, lemon juice, tomato juice and chilli, and pour into a plastic container. Place in the freezer and leave until frozen. Stir the mixture from time to time until it has a coarse, grainy texture.

2. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the length of the cucumber and celery sticks to form ribbons. Place in iced water and leave to curl.

3. Place the ribbons in a glass then spoon over the tomato granita. Garnish with a few leftover cucumber ribbons, cherry tomatoes and lemon wedges, and a grinding of black pepper.

Cook’s note: To make a cucumber bow, tie the cucumber ribbon as you would a fabric or paper ribbon.
