Avocado on toast with macadamia ‘cheese’
Recipe courtesy of Eat Your Greens by Pete Evans Published by Plum, RRP $39.99. Photography by William Meppem.
- 240g macadamia ‘cheese’
- 8 slices of charcoal bread, lightly toasted
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Chilli flakes (optional)
For the macadamia cheese
- 320g macadamia nuts
- 1- 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp sea salt, plus extra if needed
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Soak the macadamia nuts in 750ml (3 cups) of water for 6 hours. Drain and rinse well. Place the nuts in the bowl of a food processor, add the lemon juice, salt and pepper and pulse for 1 minute to combine. Add 120ml of water and process until smooth. If it seems a little dry, add more water and lemon juice to adjust the consistency.
Spread the macadamia ‘cheese’ over the toast. Arrange the avocado slices on top, then squeeze over a little lemon juice. Drizzle on the olive oil and season with salt and pepper and chilli flakes, if desired.
