Ingredients

Pie crust

• 180 ml almond flour
• 60 ml sesame seeds
• 60 ml coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon ground psyllium husk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
• 1 egg
• 60 ml water

Filling

• 2 ripe avocados
• 240 ml mayonnaise
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 red chilli pepper, finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 120 ml cream cheese
• 300 ml shredded cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Mix all the ingredients for the pie dough in a food processor for a few minutes until the dough forms a ball. If you don’t have a food processor, just knead the ingredients together in a bowl using either a fork or your hands.
2. Attach a piece of baking paper to a springform pan, no larger than 26 cm diameter. The springform pan makes it easier to remove the pie when it’s done. Grease the pan and the paper.
3. Spread dough into the pan. Use an oiled spatula or your fingers. Pre-bake the crust for 10–15 minutes.
4. Split the avocado. Remove peel and pit, and dice. Remove the seeds from the chilli and chop finely. Place the avocado and the chilli in a bowl and mix with the other ingredients.
5. Pour mixture into the pie crust. Bake for 35 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes and serve with a green salad.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Salmon burgers

• 700 g salmon
• 1 egg
• ½ yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 50 g butter, for frying

Green mash

• 450 g broccoli
• 150 g butter
• 50 g grated parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Lemon butter

• 110 g butter at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 100°C. Cut the fish in small pieces and place, along with the rest of the ingredients for the burger, in a food processor.
2. Pulse for 30-45 seconds until you have a coarse mixture. Don’t mix too thoroughly, this can make the burgers tough.
3. Shape 6-8 burgers and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side on medium heat in a generous amount of butter or oil. Keep warm in the oven.
4. Trim the broccoli and cut into small florets. You can use the stem as well, peel it and chop into small pieces.
5. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add the broccoli. Cook for a few minutes until soft but not until all texture is gone. Drain and discard the boiling water.
6. Use an immersion blender or a food processor to mix the broccoli with butter and parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
7. Make the lemon butter by mixing the butter (at room temperature) with lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl using electric beaters.
8. Serve the warm burgers with a side of green mash and a melting dollop of fresh lemon butter on top.

Tip!

You can flavour the burgers in various ways. Try them with garlic, chilli, your favourite herbs or curry powder. Why not some capers or grated parmesan cheese? The butter can also be flavoured in a number of ways. We suggest trying freshly grated horseradish, it’s delicious!

You can always make the butter ahead, to let the flavours meld. Mmmm. Lemony goodness.
