Adriano had to eat early and go out so he cooked for himself and I allowed myself to indulge a little in my favourite things – smoked salmon, avocado and capers. Avocado is on the list of high FODMAP foods, being a polyol (the P in FODMAPs) so this was a test. And I passed with flying colours. No reaction at all. I have been too scared to test any other foods since the garlic debacle but today I took my courage in both hands and fortunately it went well. To finish off the dish I made some tapioca bread rolls I have made before as the base.
This is not a low Fodmap recipe.

One of the recipes from my cookbook, Afternoon Tea, has been featured on the Italian food blog, Oggi pane e salame, domani. It is written in both Italian and English if you want to pop over and have a look. The recipe is here.
And here is an update photo of Dario’s tobacco with him and Alex posing reluctantly in front of it. Apparently a real photographer only needs to take one photograph and it will be perfect. And in my case that had better be the case because my subjects ran away after one click.
Glad avocado seems to be OK! I’ve never combined that with capers, although salmon (smoked or otherwise) and capers work wonderfully well together. Dario’s tobacco crop really is coming along! Thanks for the progress report. 😉
The capers give a small sharp explosion of flavour which I love.
Dario is now drying many of the older tobacco leaves but is having some problems getting the humidity levels just right so they dry but don’t grow mould. It’s a trick balance.
Avocado is always in my kitchen, I love it with salmon as well, such a nice combination.
It is a great combination. I had some leftovers for lunch and so enjoyed it twice.
That salmon and avocado is gorgeous! you are a clever woman.
Thanks, Maureen. I love the colours together as well as the taste.
Yay, so glad avocado passed the test. I couldn’t live without it. These look so pretty and also include a few of my favorites. I’ll have to give them a try very soon. Congratulations on the recipe feature! Such a cute photo of the young couple:) Have a great weekend Suzanne!
I am glad too. It adds another layer to my cooking. My cute couple posed and ran so the photo is not the best.
I love salmon and capers, and adding avocado just makes it all the better! So glad that things went well!
Thanks, Clare, Salmon and avocado have always been a favourite combination so I am super glad I can eat it again.
It’s lovely to see a photo of Dario. My kids have no patience in front of the lens either. You get about 10 seconds before they’re whingeing. What a pretty and colourful dish and I’m so glad there was no adverse reaction xx
Thanks, Charlie. I think they will be pleased to have a photographic record later in life but right now it seems like an imposition for them.
Oh, I’m thrilled that you can eat avocado! What a gorgeous dish…such a fantastic combination of flavors!
Thanks so much, Liz. I am thrilled about the addition to my diet too.
What beautiful food photography! Can’t wait to read more.
Thanks so much, Aubrey. I love doing the photography.
