The cooks at Erica's preschool served a bean dish for lunch that she really liked, so she talked to them about how to make it. Turns out one of the key ingredients is dried avocado leaf! She gave it a try tonight, using some leftover black beans and it was most excellent. Such a surprising flavor from the leaves - subtly unique, somewhat akin to licorice or anise, but not so strong. Makes us optimistic for our return to Boston, where an avocado tree or two await.
Of course, by the looks of it, we might have enough of them left over that we could just pack some home with us.
