Servings: persons

1 large lemon
1 fat clove garlic
2 teaspoons sea salt/1 teaspoon table salt
3 medium fully ripe avocados
3 scallions
Large bunch basil
4 slices sourdough bread, halved and toasted
1-2 heads red endive, separated into leaves
2 cups sugar-snap peas, topped and tailed
1-2 bulbs of fennel, trimmed and cut in strips

1
Zest the lemon and keep the little pile of yellow dust to one side for a moment.
2
Juice the bald lemon into a bowl, mince in the garlic and sprinkle in the salt, trying to break it up with your fingers as it goes in (if its the better, coarse salt, that is).
3
Fork everything together to dissolve.
4
Peel and pit the avocados, and mash the flesh in the bowl with your lemony fork.
5
Finely slice the scallions and chop up most of the basil leaves, reserving some choice small whole leaves for the top.
6
Sprinkle over the lemon zest and then mix everything together with the fork; the consistency should not be a puree, more of a knobbly dip.
7
Dollop on to a serving dish, sprinkle with the reserved basil and serve immediately, with toasted sourdough (the bruschetta nuda of my fancy), chicory leaves, sugar-snaps and sliced fennel or indeed any crudites of your choice.
