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.
