Gazan Smashed Avocados image

Avocados grow throughout the Gaza Strip, and in this recipe from Yasmin Khan's Zaitoun, they're paired with garlic and green chile for a spicy side dish--think of it as a Gazan guacamole. Use the ripest avocados you can find here, as those will give the creamiest results.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Hass avocados
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 green chile, finely chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon, or to taste
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or labneh
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Sumac, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Halve avocados lengthwise and remove pits; spoon flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork (you want a bit of texture, so don't feel the need to get it completely smooth).
  • Add garlic, chile, lemon juice, yogurt, and oil. Season with salt and pepper; stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice or salt as desired. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sumac; drizzle with more oil. Serve immediately.
