The B. L. A. -
Bagel with Lox and
Avocado (p. 32)
|
Recipe Ingredients:
-
1 small ripe
avocado, preferably
Hass (see Note)
-
1 t. fresh lemon
juice, or to taste
-
Salt and freshly
ground black pepper
-
2 bagels
-
2 slices or 4 thin
strips of lox, or
smoked salmon
-
2 thin slices of red
onion
-
4 thin slices of
tomato
-
1 t. capers, rinsed
(optional)
|
|
A short time
before serving, mash avocado and add lemon
juice. Season with pepper and only a bit of
salt, as there will be enough in the lox.
Split bagels and spread each half with
avocado. Top with lox. Put onion, tomato,
and capers (if using) on bottom half, then
set top half of sandwich in place. Serve at
once.
Note: To halve an avocado, run a knife
lengthwise around fruit, then twist to
separate the two halves. Remove pit by
hitting it with the heel of a chef's knife,
using just enough force that knife sticks in
pit. Then lift knife, with pit attached. |
