If there’s one fruit that’s versatile, it’s the avocado. You can really go either way with this. But did you know that you can also grill an avocado on the barbecue? The smell alone will mesmerize you.
In this recipe we fill the avocado with a tomato salsa (which combines perfectly with other dishes as well). By grilling it first you can easily spoon out the avocado. Delicious as an appetizer or side dish.
The avocado can be placed directly on the barbecue grill. Maintain a temperature of about 180℃. It can be grilled for 10 minutes. To get a diamond pattern, turn a quarter turn regularly.
