Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados

  • 2 T parsley, roughly chopped
  • 2 limes, juiced and the zest of 1
  • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
  • 8 anchovies fillets, roughly chopped
  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 T extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cos lettuce heads, for serving

Method
