Avocado And Tomatillo Sauce Food

THE NEW AVOCADO TOAST

Steps:

• Process the bread in a food processor until you have very fine crumbs (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
• Heat the garlic and 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high until very fragrant and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard the garlic. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, tossing frequently, until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to paper-towel lined plate and season with salt.
• Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat on high. Fry the eggs on high until the outer edges are browned and lacy but the yolks are still slightly uncooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit in the skillet until the yolks are set, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Liberally brush all sides of the cut avocado halves with lemon juice and generously season with salt. Working with 1 half at a time, dredge the avocados in the breadcrumbs, turning to coat and patting the crumbs lightly into the flesh and the pit cavity. Reserve the remaining breadcrumbs.
• To serve, place 1 avocado half cut-side up on a small plate. Sprinkle with a few more breadcrumbs and top with a fried egg, some scallions, radishes and a drizzle of hot sauce.

AVOCADO TOAST THREE WAYS

Steps:

• For the base: Crush the avocados in a bowl with a fork. Fold in the scallions, lime juice, cilantro and some salt and pepper, leaving the mixture pretty chunky.
• For the egg salad and radicchio toast: Brush the pumpernickel bread with oil, and toast under the broiler; or toast in a toaster and then brush with oil.
• Combine the grated egg, creme fraiche, mustard, shallot, dill and some salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Spread the toast with some of the avocado base, and top with some radicchio, egg salad and dill sprigs.
• For the salmon and dill toast: Brush the health bread with oil, and toast under the broiler; or toast in the toaster and then brush with oil.
• Spread the toast with some of the avocado base, and then top with some smoked salmon, a dollop of creme fraiche and some dill sprigs.
• For the Fresno chile toast: Brush the bread with oil, and toast under the broiler; or toast in the toaster and then brush with oil.
• Spread the toast with some of the avocado base. Top with some sliced chiles, a sprinkling of lime zest and some cilantro leaves.

AVOCADO TOAST WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Halve, pit and scoop the avocado out into a shallow bowl. Mash with a fork until chunky. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toast the bread. Lightly rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic clove and then brush each slice with some oil.
• Divide and spread the mashed avocado evenly among the toasts. Lay a piece of smoked salmon over the avocado. Top with a pinch of flaky sea salt, a few grinds of pepper and some dill. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

CORN AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse the corn in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob, and place them in a large bowl.
• Toss the avocados with the lemon juice and add them to the bowl with the corn. Add the tomatoes, red peppers, onion, jalapeno peppers and lime zest to the bowl.
• Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl and pour over the vegetables. Toss well. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

AVOCADO TOASTS

Steps:

• Mash the avocado with a fork in a shallow bowl until chunky. Season with fine salt and black pepper.
• Toast the bread until browned and crisp. Lightly rub 1 side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic until fragrant; discard the garlic. Lightly brush the toasts with oil, and season with fine salt and pepper. Divide the mashed avocado evenly among the toasts, and top with more flaky sea salt, more black pepper and red pepper flakes if using.
