A delicious and revitalising recipe, containing Avocado, Persimmon, Pomegranate and Pumpkin Seeds put together by Lou Lou Hamilton and the team from Cocolicious

  1. Cut the avocados in half , remove the stones and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, smash with a fork and squeeze over ½ of the lemon juice to flavour and also to stop the avocado going brown.
  2. Spoon onto toasted bread, thinly slice the persimmon fruit and place 4-5 slices on top of the avocado.
  3. Cut the pomegranate in half, hold over a bowl and tap the top of the fruit quite hard with a rolling pin to get the delicious seeds out. Sprinkle over tartine together with pumpkin seeds.
