Yesterday, I made that wicked avocado dessert. It was really tasty by the way. The texture was so smooth and creamy and the lime juice totally brightened up all the flavors. Cast Iron Grill Pan I had some extra avocado in my kitchen and hadn't quite satisfied my craving. I grabbed my cast iron grill pan and got it smokin', sliced some avocado and grilled them on both sides. Grilling Avocados I had some pine nuts too, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do at first but then it hit me. I toasted the pine nuts in a bit of bacon fat. Bacon Toasted Pine Nuts I wanted to bring out the nutty savory tones of the avocado, plus bacon makes everything better.... thats just the southerner in me I suppose. I also reduced equal parts pomegranate juice and balsamic vinegar to make a glaze. Pomegranate and Balsamic Once the avocados were done, I added a few leaves of arugula, the grilled slice of avocado, garnished it with the bacon toasted pine nuts, and then drizzled it with the pomegranate-balsamic glaze. It was super rich and delicious. Give it a try and take pics. Play with the appearance You can play around with the plating too. Make it your own and have fun!
