Serves 1 lucky person

Ingredients 

1 ripe avocado

Juice from half a lemon

Half a clove of garlic, crushed 

(Cook's note ~ if you can get hold of some smoked garlic, it adds something rather special to the flavour)

Salt & Pepper

1 slice of good sourdough bread

Cotswold Gold Rapeseed Oil

Cook's note ~ if you like things rather spicy, turn up the heat by adding some chopped chilli!

For serving:

Cotswold Gold Garlic infused Oil

3 slices of good-quality parma ham

Method

v  Cut the avocado in half and remove the stone. Scoop the flesh out into a bowl and add the crushed garlic and lemon juice.

v  Drizzle the plain olive oil over the bread and toast both sides under the grill.

v  Spoon the avocado onto the toast and drizzle with the garlic infused oil.

v  Serve with a heap of parma ham.
