Recipe: Avocado with Chives and Marjoram

For each avocado use:

1 tbsp chopped chives
1 tsp chopped marjoram
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp cream
Pinch salt and pepper

Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Scoop out the flesh, without damaging the skin, and mash it with the lemon juice. Blend in the cream, chives and marjoram and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pile back into avocado skins (or scoop into a small serving bowl) and add a few sprigs chives as a garnish.

Serve with crisp bread, potato chips or as is.

The variations on this recipe are nearly endless. Add a little crushed garlic, chervil, tarragon or flat-leaf parsley in whatever ratios you feel like.

Tip: Be careful, too much garlic and tarragon can easily overpower the avocado.
