Title: Avocado with Mushroom Filling (Vegan)
Categories: Appetizer Vegan
Yield: 2 Servings

175	g	Button mushrooms - minced in the blender
3	tb	Pesto sauce
1	lg	Ripe avocado - cut in half and stoned
		Lettuce leaves to garnish

Mincing fresh raw mushrooms in the blender takes a few seconds only, and gives a better texture for this dish than chopping them by hand. Mixed with pesto sauce and heaped into the cavity of a ripe avocado, this makes a delectable starter.

Steam the minced mushrooms for 3 minutes. Cool, and drain off the juices. Mix the mushrooms with the pesto and place inside the hollow of the avocado halves. Place on a bed of lightly dressed lettuce leaves to serve (see Dressings).
