    Step 1

    First and foremost prepare the pesto. This is very easy - simply put all the ingredients into a blender or a jug, if you want to use a hand blender, and blitz them all together until you have a grainy paste – keep aside in a jar. You can store the pesto in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and it can be used in a variety of other dishes, such as pasta.

    Cook the Venere rice by placing the pouch into the microwave. Open the bag a little and cook for just 90 seconds. Once ready put it a mixing bowl.

    Step 3

    Open the avocados in halves and remove the stones. With a small knife make a few incisions on the avocados pulp just to make it easier to eat them once stuffed. If the cavities left by the stones are not wide enough for 2 spoons of rice, scoop out with a spoon a bit of avocado pulp and put it in the bowl with the rice. Now dress the rice with a drop of lemon juice, a tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil and a spoon of basil pesto. Add salt and pepper to taste a bit of lemon zest
