Avocado and baby button mushroom sauce

[Guest guest]

I had this for my dinner tonight. I found the recipe in a

supermarket veggie cookbook I bought 20 years ago and as I've

developed a bit of a passion for warmed avocado, I've made it a few

times recently.

 

Avocado and baby button mushroom sauce:

Serves 4

 

100g/4oz onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

1 Tbsp olive oil

450g/1 lb tomatoes, peeled and chopped

225g/8 oz baby button mushrooms, halved

150 ml/0.25 pt dry white wine

1 tsp chopped fresh basil

1 large or 2 small avocados

freshly ground black pepper

 

Cook onion and garlic in oil on a low heat for 2 minutes. Add

tomatoes, mushrooms and wine. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer

for 20 minutes.

 

Cut avocado in half remove the stone, slice the flesh and add to the

sauce together with fresh basil. Add freshly ground pepper and heat

through.

 

Serve with brown rice. It is good sprinkled with freshly grated

parmesan and pine kernels. Add 2Tbsp tomato paste for a more

tomatoey flavour.
