INGREDIENTS

Olive oil

4 avocados halved; skin removed

4 heads of cos or baby gem lettuce, halved

125g crème fraiche

Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Salt and black pepper

Crunchy croutons and pan-fried chorizo to serve

METHOD

Heat a Le Creuset 32cm Tradition Rectangular Grill over medium to high heat and drizzle the avocados and lettuce with olive oil. Grill in batches, on the cut side only, until both are charred with griddle marks. 

 

To make the dressing, place the crème Fraiche into a bowl, and whisk in the lemon juice, zest, and seasoning. Loosen up the dressing with a splash of cold water.

 

Arrange the lettuce and avocados in Le Creuset Pasta Bowls and drizzle with the dressing. Serve immediately with crunchy croutons and optional pan-fried spicy chorizo.
