I first had a variation of this years ago at a restaurant in Brooklyn. Over the years it has varied depending on the veggies on hand. Always onion. Red pepper only when organic is on sale. I love the combo of flavors and textures. A little creamy a bit of crunch- heat from the harissa, cool from the avocado.
As much as I love my yard and garden, watching the hummingbirds through the kitchen window, the smell of grass and dirt, I miss the city. I miss staying out too late and never eating breakfast at home. Brunch, bagels, coffee in paper cups. My twenties- the years I rarely bought eggs.
