Mia's Domain | Rustic Modern Cuisine: Avocado Hummus

Important Message from Mia

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know about my very first book, "Rustic Modern Cuisine". After having spent more than 2 years creating the content for this book, I am now raising the capital necessary to self-publish it through the highly reputable "crowd funding" site, Kickstarter.com (enables discounted pre-ordering)...but I need YOUR support now! Not only do I think you'll LOVE this book, but I think it would make a great gift for all your "foodie" friends and family - and I have every intention of getting this published, printed, and delivered to YOU just in time for the Holiday Season! Please take a moment to visit my full project by clicking here - and don't forget to spread the word to others whom you think may be interested. Thanks for your support! - Mia

Remove pit and skin from avocado and chop into small pieces. Blend avocado, almonds, garbanzo beans, garlic, yogurt, parsley, and lemon juice, while streaming in oil until you've reached the consistency you desire. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Keep refrigerated.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil on top to serve.

Early Inspiration

As a young girl living on a small island in the South Pacific, Mia frequently visited her beloved grandma who lived in a tiny countryside village. Though her grandma only had a tiny kitchen with no refrigerator and a makeshift outdoor stove, she enjoyed cooking everything from scratch using fresh ingredients that she herself organically raised and farmed... with lots of love!

Mia has long since sampled a wide variety of unique foods from around the world, but her inspiration, passion, and appreciation for REAL food still originates from her Grandma. Mia tries to source everything from local farms or farmers markets when possible, using mostly fresh, wild, pastured, or organic ingredients.

Many thanks for visiting Mia's Domain. Be sure to visit often, enjoy...and spread the word!

Bon Apetit! - Mia
