Sweet avocado with lemon and sugar

I found the inspiration for this sweet avocado recipe from the South-African Cooking Book. The result was a bit different, and not exclusively a success, but I am not always hunted by the success of the (perfect) beginner.

What do you need to feed 2 (not always very sophisticated, but always curious) people:

2 medium avocados, sliced and minced in the mixer
1/2 lemon juice
200 gr. sugar - brown or white
You could add some avocado honey, if you are lucky enough to own.

Preparation time: 20-25 minutes

Mix all the ingredients together, and serve it cold or at the room temperature.

Moroccan carrot salad


From time to time, I simply fell in love with some recipes and/or ingredients. The taste effect is so strong that I can't live without. One of my long lasting relationship is with avocado: I use it all the time, as often as possible. Recently, I refreshed my reserves of avocado honey.
The latest entry is the Maroccan salad, I picked up the last week, from the same Cohen's book. Since, I did it again this Wednesday and again today. 
My adapted variant is:
4 - or more, up to the number of guests - carrots, finely gratted
1 bunch of fresh parsley
30 gr. sesame seeds
100 gr. canola oil
1 spoon of salt
1 spoon of sugar
1 spoon of lemon juice

The carrots, the oil, the salt, the sasame, the sugar and the lemon juice, are heated together for 10-15 minutes, carefully mixed. At the end, you add the parsley leaves and you can serve it!
For me, the gratted part of the story was the most demanding one, as I need, probably, more exercises at the gym!
