About

Cheap and plentiful in Chile, avocados are eaten at breakfast and teatime with slices or chunks of bread. Creamy, delicious and nutritious, they are also used to make this wonderfully simple appetizer, which is served on a bed of lettuce.

Ingredients

2 ripe but firm avocados
juice of ½ lemon
1 x 165 g/

Method

Peel the avocados and cut them lengthwise into halves. Brush or rub the avocados with the lemon juice and then set aside while you prepare the filling.
In a bowl, combine the tuna, red pepper, olive oil, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix gently to maintain the shape of the ingredients. Mash the hard-boiled egg in a separate dish with a fork.
