Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Place the sliced shallots and Scotch bonnet chile peppers in a clean, sanitized quart-sized jar.
-
Step 2.
In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the apple cider vinegar, coconut sugar, sea salt, grated ginger, grated garlic, bay leaves, whole allspice berries, and coriander seeds. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt.
-
Step 3.
Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the shallots and peppers in the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature, about 1 to 2 hours.
-
Step 4.
Once cooled, seal the jar tightly and refrigerate. Allow the pickles to sit for at least 4 hours before using, though a full day yields the best flavor. Store refrigerated for up to 1 month.
-
Step 5.
To make the avocado toast, place the peeled and seeded avocado pulp in a small mixing bowl. Add flake sea salt to taste, cilantro, mint, chives, green onions, grated garlic, diced serrano chile, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
-
Step 6.
Mash the avocado mixture gently with a fork until it reaches a guacamole-like consistency, leaving some chunks of avocado intact.
-
Step 7.
Divide and spread the avocado mixture evenly over two pieces of gluten-free Norwegian crisp bread or keto bread.
-
Step 8.
Top each toast with a large pinch of the prepared pickled onions and peppers. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve immediately.
