Grilled Avocado
Grill avocado for an impressive Asian Fusion appetizer, or fill it with salsa for a fancy, deconstructed guacamole.
Ingredients
- 1 Avocado
- olive oil
- salt + pepper
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/8 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/8 cup orange or any citrus juice
- nori (seaweed)
- 1 tsp diced garlic
- freshly-grated wasabi or thinly sliced hot chiles
Instructions
- Cut the avocado half and scoop out each half, then brush each side with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Heat the grill (or grill pan) as hot as possible. Place the halves crater side down on the grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until they easily release from the grill. Turn them over on their backs for just a minute, then remove and sprinkle again with olive, sale and pepper.
- Make Ponzu sauce by whisking soy sauce, citrus juice and vinegar.
- Fill each crater with Ponzu sauce, nori (seaweed) and garlic.
- Serve with freshly-grated wasabi. If you can’t find fresh wasabi, use thinly sliced local hot chiles and float in the Ponzu.
