Recipe: Mushroom and avocado melts

1 mins to read
Enjoy this quick and easy dinner that heats up brilliantly for a lunch, too.


Avocados are a great source of essential fatty acids, potassium and folate and vitamin C.

Combined with mushrooms packed with B vitamins, this dish is a nutritious choice for an easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

  • Some flat mushrooms, big enough to make a stack
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 small red chillies, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small avocado, mashed with a few drops of lemon juice (essential fatty acids)
  • 2 tbsp low fat cottage cheese (protein)

Method

Preheat a grill on medium heat. Mix the olive oil, garlic, chillies and thyme together in a small jug. Brush over both sides of each mushroom. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper and let them sit and marinate while you get the rest together.

Combine the avocado and low fat cottage cheese in a small bowl with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.

Place mushrooms flat-side down onto a barbecue plate or char grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until just tender.

For dinner, place the mushrooms onto serving plates, top with avocado mixture and serve immediately. Remember to save some for lunch the next day!
