Grilled Avacado Halves
[edit]
source Michael Chiarello
Again, Michael made this at our Fallen Leaf cabin (for a wedding dinner for 90 guests) and it became and instant favorite. I like them best over a platter of mixed heirloom tomatoes on a bed a baby greens topped with fresh basil...but any tomatoes will do.
Required Ingredients
| 4 | Avacados(barely ripe), halved, pitted and peeled | |
| 2 | Tablespoon | Olive Oil |
| 1 | Large lemon juiced (or two small lemons) | |
| Finely ground sea salt | ||
| Freshly ground black pepper (I have used mixed peppers and like the look) |
Preparation Instructions
- Gently toss the prepared avacado halves in a mixture of the olive oil and the juice from the lemon. Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Keep halves WELL CHILLED until ready to grill.
- When ready to serve, place the avacado halves, cut side down, on a pre-heated grill and grill until well caramelized, 30 to 45 seconds. Remove and place cut side up on a platter of fresh-sliced tomatoes. Do not grill on the second side.
- Top with fresh basil and drizzle the entire salad with a favorite dressing.
