- 1
1 avocado - Total weight: 250 grams
Step by step recipe
Stage 1
A puree is made with an avocado cut into pieces and blended.
Stage 2
The purée is divided between 3 ramekins: on the right plain, in the centre with the stone, and on the left with a pinch of vitamin C.
Stage 3
A few hours later...
Stage 4
Unfortunately the stone has had no effect.
Stage 5
The vitamin C, on the other hand, has acted as an effective anti-oxidant.
Conclusion
False: So there is no point leaving the avocado stone in the prepared dish. Vitamin C, and so the lemon juice added to guacamole is much more effective.

Roast beef "like they do it in Santa Fe"
For this delicious roast, the beef joint is seared all over, then wrapped in slices of grilled (broiled) bacon before the final long, slow roasting in a bag with aromatic ingredients (bayleaf, shallots, carrot, thyme and chilli). Cooked this way, the meat will be well done on the outside, meltingly tender inside and can be pulled apart with a fork. The pepped-up spicy flavour is to die for!
