Ingredients

  • For the guacamole
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 red pepper, 1/2 diced, 1/2 cut into sticks and reserved for the crudités
  • 4 Co-op pickled silverskin onions
  • 1 pitted black olive, quartered
  • For the witchy pepper
  • 2 green peppers
  • 50g Co-op cucumber, cut into sticks (peel off two ribbons of the skin first, and reserve for the hats)
  • 100g Co-op British carrots, cut into sticks
  • 100g Co-op celery, cut into sticks
  • For the hats
  • 2 aubergine slices
  • Oil, for brushing
  • 2 medium Co-op British carrots

Method

  1. To make the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocados and mash
  2. Mix in the lime juice, season, then stir through the diced red pepper
  3. Cut a little hole out of the centre of each silverskin onion and add the olive quarters to look like eyeballs and place in the guacamole
  4. Cut the tops off the green peppers, reserving the stalks, and scoop out the seeds
  5. Carve a single wide hole two-thirds of the way up the side of each pepper, then wedge the reserved stalk into the centre of the hole so it looks like eyes and a nose
  6. Cut mouth-shaped holes out below
  7. Stuff the peppers with the cucumber, carrot, celery and reserved red pepper sticks
  8. For the witches’ hats, brush the aubergine slices with oil and cook on a griddle pan for 1-2 mins each side
  9. Cut a thin slice off the thickest part of each carrot, then shape the remaining sections into two pointy shapes, about 7cm long
  10. Insert the tip of a cocktail stick into the base of each pointy-shaped carrot, then thread through the aubergine and secure in place with the thin slices of carrot
  11. Wrap the cucumber ribbons around the hats and secure with a dab of guacamole and place on top of the peppers
