Relatively Delicious

As we head into summer (everywhere except Michigan), I have one piece of advice that will be sure to change your outdoor gatherings and barbecues:




Seriously, it may seem a little strange, but the flavor of a grilled avocado is enlightening; whether its smashed into guacamole or eaten sliced with a little salt and olive oil.

Just halve your avocados, peel off the skin, remove the pits, and place in a bowl. Douse with olive oil, salt, pepper, and squeeze half a lemon (to prevent browning) and lightly toss. Throw them on the grill for about 3 minutes a side. You want to get a good portion of each side caramelized, but not charred. Served sliced with more olive oil, or smash while still warm into whatever guacamole recipe you prefer (warm guac tastes amazing -- try adding sauteed basil and parmesean or feta cheese).
