This dish may seem a little daunting at first but feel free to cheat a little and use shop bought hummus and pickled onions if necessary.  However once you make them once you will realise how easy they are and you wont buy shop bought again.  The best thing about the dish is all the ingredients can be prepared in advance meaning the morning or evening of that you are eating it your food will be ready in minutes!

  2. Add the avocado, black pudding, edamame and jalapenos next
  3. Mix the herbs together and place on top.
  4. Drizzle the avocado with 1 tbsp oil and sprinkle the dish with chili flakes, sesame seeds and Maldon salt

Essential Tools

Chef knives

Chopping board

Frying pan

Tongs

Bowl of ice water

Saucepan

Blender – if making hummus yourself

Tips/Tricks

Prepare as much as possible in advance.  I always have the pickled onions in the fridge – they last about 2 months.  That is if you don’t eat them sooner!

If you prefer your eggs a little more cooked then leave em in the boiling water for an additional minute.

Plenty of salt in the water and straight into ice cold water will help in the peeling process

 

Pickled Onions Recipe

Red onions x 3 – peeled

Peppercorns x 6

Dried Red Chili x 2

Bayleaf x 1

Thyme x 2 sprigs

Garlic clove x 1

Salt x 2 tsp

Sugar x 2 tsp

White Vinegar x 2 cups

Water x ½ cup

Method

Slice onions to whatever desired thickness you like – mine are about 3mm but it aint an exact science. Using a mandoline is best if you have one

Place onions in a sieve and pour boiling water over them to blanch them

Mix together water, vinegar, sugar & salt and place in airtight container. Add herbs and spices to the container and place blanched onions in too

Cover with lid and store in fridge. Onions are ready after minimum of 3 hours but I find overnight is best.

Hummus Recipe

Chickpeas x 400g can

Juice of ½ lemon

Sesame oil x 3 dashes

Garlic clove x 1 – crushed

Tahini x 1 tsp

Olive Oil x 1/3 cup

Cumin x ½ tsp

Salt x pinch

Method

Blend all the ingredients together, add more oil if necessary, until desired consistency.
