Oh avocado. I love you. No. No, I loave you, as Alvy Singer would say.

Sometimes I eat two of these babies a day. On toast, on nachos, with eggs, in sushi, in salad, but most often on their own. I used to eat them with olive oil, black pepper and smoked sea salt. I am a savory, salty person.

The past couple years I’ve been using soy sauce as much, if not more than, salt (for example, I season my omelets with soy sauce) so it occurred to me to try an avocado with soy sauce. It’s perfect actually. Take out the stone and pour the soy sauce right in the pit. Then I started adding chilies, black pepper, sesame oil, japanese rice seasoning, roasted black sesame seeds, go chu gar u (korean chili flakes). It’s all good.

So this isn’t much of a recipe. And it’s possible that this avocado/soy sauce thing has been done to death. I didn’t even check. I just wanted to preach, to testify my avocado love.

Or padron peppers. Either is good. This is a nice snack for when you’re not too hungry or don’t want to get too full. Something to nibble on before dinner with a glass of wine or a gin and tonic. That’s not crackers and cheese!

Ingredients
Shishito or padron peppers
olive oil
sea salt and black pepper

1/4 cup greek yogurt or mayo*
1 tbs tahini
squeeze lemon juice
1 garlic clove
salt and pepper

*If vegan, leave out the mayo or yogurt and just use extra tahini and extra olive oil to make the dipping sauce

1) Heat up olive oil in a frying pan and fry the peppers on high, stirring, till blistered on all sides. This will only take a few minutes. Grind salt and pepper on the peppers and then plate them.
2) To make the sauce, mince a garlic clove and mix with tahini, yogurt, lemon juice and salt and pepper.

Enjoy!
