A variation of Diana Kennedy's Coliflor en Aguacate recipe from her brilliant Mexican cookery bible: The essential cuisines of Mexico ISBN 9780307587725 - mine was about £7 from Amazon and it's looking to be the best cook-book I own!

This recipe could be served as a side-dish or as a dipping-style starter or mezze.
