I used a mix of shimeji and enoki mushrooms for this one, but honestly even non-Asian style mushrooms would still be really good in this.

2 tspvegetable oil

1 Tbspgochujang

1 Tbspsoy sauce

2 Tbspfurikake seasoning

Instructions

Step 1

Remove the flesh of the avocados, and place them in a flat bottomed pot or bowl. Mash the avocado until desired texture forms, I find a potato masher is good for this. Separate the smashed avo into two halves.

Step 2

In one half, combine with the lemon juice, the other half, combine with the lime juice. Set aside.

Step 3

Dry off the chickpeas, and combine them with the dukkah, 2 tsp of oil, and a generous pinch of salt. Roast them in a 220 degrees Celsius oven for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat. While they’re in the oven, sauté the mushrooms and spring onion in the vegetable oil, gochujang and soy sauce until cooked, about 5 minutes or so.

Step 4

Toast your sourdough, and then it’s time to assemble. For the Type 1 smashed avo, spread the lemon juice avo on the toast, top with roasted chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts, and a light drizzle of olive oil. For the Type 2, spread the lime juice avo on the toast, top with the mushrooms, and sprinkle furikake seasoning.
