Brownie with ground clove

We all know that the best part of brownies is the texture, which of course is the result of the massive amount of sugar and fat in it, (it's so not fair that the best things are the ones that contain the most sugar and butter...:) ), but I'm still trying to experiment with more humble brownie recipes. This one is a very quick one, with ground clove, to make it more exciting. The result is not so sticky as its more sugary versions, but it's short and sticky enough in the middle that we can call it a brownie :)

Ingredients

• 20 dlgs of flour
• 20 dkgs of sugar
• 4 small or 3 middle-sized eggs
• 4 dkgs of coca powder
• 1 teaspoon of ground cloves
• 1 dl of oil
• 10 dkgs of dark chocolate

Measure the sugar, and mix it with the eggs and the cloves in a bowl. Melt the chocolate and add it to the sugary mixture. Measure the flour, and mix it with the cocoa powder. Unite the two parts, and if it's too thick, you can use a tiny bit of milk to correct it. Pour it into a roll, and bake it in the oven at 175 deg Celsius for 20 minutes at most, but check it frequently during that time, 15 minutes might be enough! 

Avocado salsa

I almost always made guacamole when I had avocados at home, or chicken salad (the recipe iscan be found in the older posts) but I wanted to try out something salsa-like too. In winter, when there are no really tasty tomatoes, this can be the perfect substitute for bruschetta with tomatoes. For that matter, avocado is healthy, full of unsaturated fatty acids, and it's very tasty too :)

Ingredients:

• 2 mellow avocados
• 1 big tomato
• 3 tbl spoons of olive oil
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• juice of half a lemon
• 1 clove of garlic, smashed

Chop the avocado and the tomato, and mix it with the rest of the ingredients. Mix it carefully, don't crush the avocado, because if its mellow it can be smashed very easily, but we want it to stay in bigger pieces this time. Pile it up on a toast and eat it! :) It's better for the taste if it can rest a bit before you eat it. 

Homemade sushi

Making sushi at home is not as hard as it seems. I'm not saying it's cheap (at least for Hungarian standards) but since you decide the amount of ingredients you buy, it's not that bad. We made it with salmon, avocado and cucumber.
