To serve
- 4 handfuls or 150g of padrón peppers (or roast veggies of your choice!)
- 1 tsp of rapeseed oil
- Sea salt to taste
- Blanco Niño Chilli & Lime tortilla chips
METHOD
- 1. Start with the fried beans. Sauté the onions, garlic and chilli with the oil for about five minutes at medium-low heat. They will become soft and translucent. Add the drained beans. Warm them up. Blitz with a hand blender and add some of the tinned liquid if needed. It should have the consistency of a loose hummus. Season to taste and put to one side.
- 2. For the guacamole, scoop out the avocado. Crush it with a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients, toss well and season with lime juice and salt to taste.
- 3. To make the pico de gallo, combine all ingredients. Season with the citrus juice and salt.
- 4. For the padrón peppers, heat a grill or a frying pan at high heat. Toss the peppers in a bit of rapeseed oil. Grill the padrón peppers on all sides. They will become nice and chargrilled. Sprinkle salt to taste all over the peppers.
- 5. To serve, spoon each element into a bowl. Arrange the peppers on one side of the edge. Finish with the chips on the other side. Enjoy!
