Beautifying Avocado Recipes

Mediterranean Mtabbal Avocado recipe.

I like to make this recipe as a start-up with roasted or fried fish. It had been a tradition in my husband’s family to make it along with fish, so I learned the recipe from my mother-in-law since I did not know it before. It is similar in texture to hummus.

Ingredients:

1 avocado fruit

1 tablespoon of tahini

Lemon juice and salt to your taste

1 garlic mashed

Olive oil

Directions: Mash the avocado flesh using a fork, then add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Put in a plan plate and drizzle olive oil over it.
