Ingredients

2 slices of sourdough bread, lightly toasted
1 ripe avocado
2 wedges of lemon
Avocado oil
Half of a pound of mixed mushrooms roughly chopped (oyster,shiitake,cremini)
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 small sprig of rosemary
Handful of arugula
Olive oil
Flaky sea salt

Instructions

Prepare the mushrooms. Drizzle some avocado oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Sauté mushrooms until they start to brown. After 10 minutes, add the minced garlic and rosemary sprig and season generously with salt and pepper.
Cook for another 5 minutes stirring occasionally, or until mushrooms have softened nicely and become fragrant.
Squeeze a lemon over the mushrooms and mix again. Set aside.
Prepare the toast. Lay your toast on a plate.
Scoop out the avocado flesh, and, using a fork, carefully mash one half onto each piece of toast.
Season with salt and pepper and squeeze a lemon wedge over both pieces.
Carefully mound your mushrooms over the avocado followed by a handful of arugula.
Finish with a drizzle of good quality olive oil and flaky sea salt.
Eat with a knife and fork.

Recipe Tip

For even deeper flavour, prepare the mushrooms a day or two ahead and let the herbs, garlic, and lemon meld together. When serving, finish with a drizzle of quality olive oil and flaky sea salt for a restaurant-worthy touch.
