Sandwiches with guacamole, smoked meat, and capers are a culinary creation with European roots that combines the softness of avocado, the rich flavor of smoked ham, and the spiciness of capers. Guacamole from Mexico adds a creamy texture and refreshing lime tang. Crispy toasted bread creates the perfect base, while sweet pepper, tomatoes, and shallots enrich the composition with fresh notes. These sandwiches are great for breakfast or a light snack throughout the day. Their balance of richness and freshness makes the dish versatile: it can be a centerpiece for a festive table or a cozy home treat. The taste is harmonious, slightly smoky, with gentle acidity and fresh plant notes. An excellent choice for gourmets who appreciate exquisite ingredient combinations.

Cooking steps

1. To prepare guacamole, peel the avocado, remove the pit, and cut it into large pieces. Make a cross-shaped cut on the top of one tomato, pour boiling water over it, then peel off the skin and dice it into small cubes. Roast the sweet pepper in the oven at 220 degrees for twenty minutes, peel off the skin and seeds and also dice it. In a bowl, place the avocado and mash the flesh with a fork; then add tomatoes, pepper, finely chopped shallot, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lime juice. Mix well while mashing.
