- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 slice of whole grain bread
- 1-2 Tbsp pistachios, crushed
Instructions
Instructions
- 1. Take a ¼-inch-thick slice from a green bell pepper (cut horizontally). The resulting slice should look like a shamrock shape. Remove seeds and pith (white part) as needed. This will be your mold.
- 2. Cut an avocado in half, deseed it, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Add some lemon juice and season with salt and fresh garlic to taste. Mash until smooth.
- 3. Take a slice of toasted bread and place the bell pepper slice on it. Fill the sliced pepper with the seasoned mashed avocado, creating a smooth and flat shamrock shape.
- 4. Using a sheet of paper to create sharp edges, sprinkle the crushed pistachios on the shamrock in a cross to simulate leaves of a shamrock.
- 5. Cut off a small piece of the green bell pepper and add it to the bread to create a stem. (See videos for artistic details.)
