Steps
Steps
- 1Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, until they puff and start to pop, and tip them onto a plate.
- 2Toast the sourdough until crisp and deep golden; it has to stand up to the avocado without going soggy.
- 3Rub one side of each hot slice with the cut garlic and drizzle with half the olive oil.
- 4Halve the avocados, remove the stones and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- 5Add the lime juice and salt and crush with a fork, leaving it chunky; a smooth purée turns watery on the toast.
- 6Pile the avocado onto the toast and spread it to the edges.
- 7Top with the radish slices, chilli flakes, pumpkin seeds, pepper and the rest of the oil, and serve at once; avocado browns as it sits.
