Sometimes disappointments can turn into a sweet ( in my case cheesy savoury) victory .
I was all in a mood to make a nice guacamole dip today , but to my disappointment I realised that the avocado I had was not ripe enough . I did not throw away the avocado and went to net to look for some kanadda / coorgi recipe that uses avocado or butter fruit as its called here - I had seen few butter fruit tree in coorg and assumed there must be some local way of cooking it. Somehow I could not really find anything that I could really try. Further trolling on net I found pics of egg baked in avocado , it surely looked pretty enough . Reading through the reviews, most of people complained that it made avocado too mushy and that got me thinking, may be too mushy for a ripe avocado but just might be perfect for the one I had in fridge!
So with my creative cap on, I scooped out the pit from avocado, rubbed a pinch of salt all over, finely chopped onion and tore up sliced cheese into small pieces and filled the cup ( there is no egg in fridge today :( ) , sprinkled a bit of rock salt, pepper and splash of Tabasco sauce and grilled in microwave for 3 minutes ... Creamy cheesy avocado cup done in a instant :) :)
On a different note, do you have any local recipe for avocado ? please share.
I have never had avocados, but I applaud your improv. Sometimes you just got to wing it.

thanks Kathy, it was one of the aha moment, i am so glad it turned out good and saved the avocado from the bin :)
DeleteNot to be a grammar nazi, but grilling is not synonymous for cooking! You didn't grill the avocado, unless you have a VERY unique microwave. Neat idea though, avocados are delicious in so many ways
ReplyDeleteHmm, i have LG Convection microwave which i has a button that says 'Grill' ...well lets say cook it for 3 mins
