Did you know ... Cilantro is a herb with wide delicate lacy green leaves and a pungent flavour. The seed of the cilantro plant is known as coriander. Although cilantro and coriander come from the same plant, their flavours are very different and cannot be substituted for each other. (Some countries refer to the cilantro as coriander, so any references to "fresh coriander" or "coriander leaves" refer to cilantro.) It can be easily confused with flat-leaf parsley in appearance, so be sure to sniff carefully. Look for a bunch with un-wilted leaves in medium green. Found fresh year round in most markets.

I'm not a fan of avocado, I wonder if it would be more palatable eaten this way, I may just give it a go. I'm always happy to try something made in a different way, it can taste so different.

I love, love, love making my own psyllium flour. Great stuff. Happy Weekend!

This sounds delicious. I'm just wondering, once it's baked do you have to eat it right away so the avocado doesn't brown or does the baking stop it from browning so you can eat leftovers?

Hello Alicia, and thanks for your question
"I'm just wondering, once it's baked do you have to eat it right away so the avocado doesn't brown or does the baking stop it from browning so you can eat leftovers?"

You don't have to eat this pie straight away, although it does taste lovely when served with a green salad. You could let it cool completely and use it later in the day ... perhaps enjoy a picnic. It also freezes well so why not double the batch!

I hope you may give this recipe suggestion a try soon and see what you think!

All the best Jan

I must try avocado again, we did pop one in a smoothie and it made it lovely and creamy.
