Grilled Avocado Rockamole Food

GRILLED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill.
• Quarter the avocados and remove the seed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and brush with grapeseed oil. Grill the avocado slices over indirect heat, leaving undisturbed for the first 2 to 4 minutes or so to let the seasonings integrate into the surface and to allow the caramelization process to begin. Then, flip the avocados, remove from grill and let rest.
• Through the feed opening of a running blender add, 1 at a time, the vinegar, salt, black pepper, mustard, parsley, and garlic. Leaving the blender running add the olive oil through the feed opening in a slow thin stream.
• Serve the grilled avocado with enough of the dressing to coat and garnish with fresh parsley sprigs.

GRILLED AVOCADO WITH SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium heat to 425 degrees F.
• Brush the inside of the avocado halves with the olive oil. Place the avocado halves cut-side down on the grill for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Turn the avocado halves 90 degrees to get cross grill marks and cook for another 1 minute and 30 seconds.
• Remove from the grill and season with salt and pepper. Put about 1 heaping tablespoon of salsa into the center well of each avocado half. Garnish with hot sauce and serve.

GRILLED AVOCADO WITH GOAT CHEESE AND BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Seed and julienne the bell peppers and saute in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and skin. Rub the avocado halves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the halves on both sides for about 2 minutes each side. Remove from the grill and place on a baking sheet. Fill the center of each avocado half with Bell Pepper Salsa and top with 1-ounce of goat cheese. Bake approximately 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• On each plate, arrange sauteed bell peppers and place an avocado half among them. Garnish with cilantro.
• Stem and seed peppers. Dice all ingredients very fine. Mix in bowl with vinegar and oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
