Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F/160°C/Gas Mark 3.
  2. Spread out the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from the oven and transfer to a clean dish towel.
  4. Rub off the skins with the dish towel, then put the hazelnuts into a food processor and chop.
  5. Mix the yogurt and honey together in a bowl.
  6. Peel and halve the avocado, remove and discard the pit (stone), then dice the flesh and add it to the yogurt mixture to prevent discoloration.
  7. Stir gently, then transfer to a glass bowl and sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts.
  8. Chill until ready to serve.
