I started preparing this dish at around 1:30 in the afternoon. My mom and dad were not around and I thought me and my siblings will be the one to taste this dish. Just about the time I finished cooking this dish my parents arrived. Okay the family is complete for our Sunday afternoon snack.
I’m supposed to make a chicken wrap but my dad is currently allergic to chicken and to some fishes so I opted with pork, beef is so pricey. This is a half kilo ground pork sauteed with garlic, onions, parsley, cardamom powder and cumin powder. Instead of the usual cream and may dressing, I decided to give mashed avocado or guacamole a try. I used alfalfa sprout rather than the usual shredded cabbage as I fell in love with this thin thread cucumber-like tasting sprout. Then, I just garnished it with chopped tomatoes and chopped parsley and the result is one tasty snack to enjoy for this afternoon.
The dish is heavily seasoned with cumin, as I like the spiciness it give to the pork. The lemon juice helps to lighten the spiciness of the cumin in the ground pork. A bite of this wrap would give you the deliciously pungent taste of the cumin, refreshing crunchy cucumber-like flavor of the alfalfa sprout, the refreshing summer-like experience of the tomato and parsley and that light creaminess of the avocado.
