Kathy and I continue to pinch ourselves when we think about our whirlwind trip to London. It was spur of the moment and as we already described, we had an incredible time.
We were walking and exploring Notting Hill with our hosts and they suggested we grab lunch at Jamie Oliver’s Recipease Cafe. Well, ok, you don’t really “grab” anything in Europe, but we did stop in and explore this remarkable cooking shop paradise and enjoyed lunch, too. It was one of those lunches that will stay forever in my mind’s scrapbook of food experiences.
I had an avocado sandwich with the following description:
Smashed spicy avocado £6.95V
Avocado, Worcestershire sauce, toasted London bloomer bread & cherry tomatoes.
Add outdoor-reared streaky bacon £7.95
It was the perfect antidote to calm my nerves from travels, presentations and new adventures.
As I have blogged about before, lunch is always a challenge. I decided it was time to recreate that tasty avocado sandwich and since I have discovered the perfect old world bread, it was a snap. No more lunchtime blues.
Avocado Sandwich
2 ripe avocados, peeled with seed removed
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Dash of red pepper flakes
Cherry tomatoes
1 or 2 slices bacon, cooked until crisp, optional
2 slices old world bread, toasted
In a small bowl, mash avocados with Worcestershire sauce. Add red pepper flakes.
Spread onto toasted bread fairly thick. Top with sliced cherry tomatoes or crisp bacon.
