Avocado Toasties

Avocado is currently doing the rounds as a super-food, but we should hold that against it. Super-food status makes it reasonably easy to get hold of. We haven’t used it before either, so an avocado toastie was practically unavoidable.

The Veggie Avocado Toastie

• Sliced tomato
• About half a sliced avocado
• Sliced mozzarella
• Salt & Pepper

The Chicken Avocado Toastie

• Chicken off the bone
• Sliced gouda
• About half a sliced avocado
• Salt & Pepper

Taste.
The veggie avocado toastie is very pleasant. Well seasoned avocado has a pleasant taste, and if you like the texture as well it’s a winner. It wasn’t quite there, but that might just be me wanting to put meat in everything. 7/10

The Chicken version, you see, was fantastic. Chicken and avocado are not an especially imaginative combination, but they are a bit of a classic. Chuck a stringy-but-flavoursome cheese like gouda on top and it’s all very delightful and moreish. I was pleasantly surprised: 9/10

Appeal
Expensive veg + expensive cheese + free range chicken isn’t going to make for a cheap toastie, but this one will score very well with the healthy-eaters out there. 8/10

Suitability as a signature.
It’s green, which is very Jabberwocky, and I very much liked the flavour. It doesn’t really do anything new or special though, so not really signature material. 4/10

Difficulty Rating Avocado has a period of approximately 30 minutes during which it is perfectly ripe. Once you have overcome this, the job is a easy one, especially if you like to keep a roast chicken handy for the occasion. Rated simple.

I think that the wild-cooked version will combine both toasties, so chicken, mozzarella, avocado and tomato. That way we can still produce a veggie version, and everyone is a winner. Coming soon to a menu near you.
