South African Avocado Smash Cream Recipe

The South African Avocado Smash Cream Recipe is a popular and delectable dish that reflects the diverse and vibrant South African culture. This culinary delight combines the rich flavors of avocados with various ingredients, creating a unique and tasty experience for the palate. Avocado is an essential ingredient in this recipe, and it holds a special place in South African cuisine. Avocado trees thrive in the country's favorable climate, making avocados easily accessible and a staple in many South African households. The use of avocados in this dish showcases South Africa's abundant agricultural resources. Ingredients 2 ripe avocados 1/2 red onion, peeled and very finely diced 2 spring onions, trimmed and very finely sliced (or wild garlic when in season) 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced) juice of 1 lemon (sometimes I use an extra half lemon if there isn't enough juice) salt and pepper 8 slices of sourdough bread (lightly toasted; or ciabatta, baguette) 4oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese (I used the herb and garlic variety) 1. Remove the pit from the avocados and cut them in half lengthwise. Combine the avocados, onions, garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings in a food processor and pulse until mostly smooth. It's okay if some small lumps remain for texture. Add more lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste after tasting the guacamole. 2. After lightly toasting the sourdough (or baguette) pieces, spread them with Philadelphia cream cheese. Top with guacamole. (If some guacamole is still remaining, simply transfer it to a smaller bowl and serve it alongside the tartines.) 3. If you'd like your guacamole creamier, serve it over a bowl of Philadelphia cream cheese and some sliced charcuterie like ham and chorizo sausage. 4. Guacamole won't turn brown if you leave one of the avocado stones in the dish.
