Good afternoon everyone!

How is the Christmas planning going? I have many ideas in mind that I hope to post little by little.

Today I bring a recipe using an ingredient that is being used more and more in our kitchens: avocados. They are high in healthy fats and a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. I personally love it. You can make so many recipes with it, even avocado chips! - one day I will share his recipe with you. This time I have mixed two of my favourite foods - traditional hummus and avocado - so I ended up with avocado hummus! Perfect as an appetizer for your Christmas table, along with some canapés, olives, cheese, charcuterie, and so on.

INGREDIENTS - 540 mL (1 can) unsalted chick peas, well drained - 2 medium ripe avocados - 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tbsp for serving - 1 1/2 tbsp tahini - Half a lemon juice - 1 clove garlic, peeled - A pinch of salt and pepper - A pinch of paprika DIRECTIONS - Rinse chickpeas and add them to the food processor. Add also the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper to it. Process for 3 minutes or until it is smooth.

- Peel avocados and add them to the food processor. Process for 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides and process for another minute if necessary.
