Sumac Avocado Toast

Sumac Avocado Toast

Sometimes the simplest things are the best! This week we’re giving good old avocado on toast a little makeover. Start with a thick slice of toasted sourdough, a generous spread of salted butter and some lovely ripe avocado. Add a handful of tangy pickled red onion, a sprinkle of sumac and finish with fresh Micro Asian Mixed Herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

The pickled onions are so easy to make and are great to have tucked away in the fridge for salads, sandwiches and wraps too. A fresh, delicious little breakfast or lunch that feels a bit special without much effort at all!

Ingredients

  • 1 slice sourdough
  • Salted butter
  • ½ avocado
  • Salt & pepper
  • Pickled red onion
  • ½ tsp sumac
  • Micro Asian Mixed Herbs 
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Pickled Red Onions

  • 1 red onion
  • Equal parts white vinegar & water
  • Salt (to taste)

Method

  1. Thinly slice the red onion and place in a jar. Cover with equal parts white vinegar and water, then season with salt. Refrigerate overnight. For a quicker option, combine the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer until the onion softens slightly. Allow to cool before using.
  2. Toast the sourdough and spread generously with salted butter. Slice the avocado and arrange on top. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Top with pickled red onion, sumac and microgreens. Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
