Grilled Guacamole
Recipe-Rampage@yahoogroups.com Grilled guacamole is very simple: Just grill the avocados. This doesn't have to be terribly neat or scientific; just peel the avocados & throw them on the grill for a few minutes. If you don't have a grill, try cooking them for a few minutes under the broiler or on a grill pan. The result is a lightly smoky, rich & silky guacamole. I love all sorts of non-traditional additions to guacamole, but with this recipe I was a purist: I smashed the grilled avocados with nothing more than a bit of lime juice, salt & pepper. (If you like you can add some garlic, onion or cilantro.) It is some of the most delicious guac you will ever taste. The rich, smoky flavor is a subtle & unforgettable twist on an old favorite.

1. Heat a gas or charcoal grill & oil the grate lightly. 2. Split each avocado skin with a sharp knife, just piercing the skin. Peel the skin away, leaving the avocado whole. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise & remove & discard the pit. Lightly brush each avocado half with olive oil. 3. Arrange the avocado halves on the grill & cover them. Grill for about 5 minutes, then flip. Cover & grill for another few minutes, or until the avocados are heated through & have grill marks. (Keep an eye on them; I recommend doing them on a low heat; depending on your grill it could take less -- or more! -- time.) 4. Take the avocados off the grill & let them cool slightly. Smash them with a fork & stir in the juice from half a lime, along with some salt & pepper to taste. Add the garlic, onion & cilantro, if you wish. Serve immediately with chips.
