Avocado Mousse With Papaya Tomato Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Combine avocados, yogurt, lime, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Pulse together until avocado is totally blended and smooth and consistency is thick and whipped.

Steps:

• Peel and pit the avocados and slice the flesh into 10 wedges. Peel and seed the papaya and slice the flesh into 12 wedges.
• Juice the limes into a non-reactive bowl, add red onion and ginger to bloom for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and gently toss. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make mousse:
• Lightly oil ramekins and line bottoms with wax paper or parchment, then oil paper.
• Quarter, pit, and peel 2 avocados. Purée avocado quarters with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, vitamin C, and salt in a food processor until smooth.
• Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small heavy saucepan and let soften 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Add to avocado purée and blend until smooth.
• Halve, pit, and peel remaining avocado. Cut into 1/4-inch dice and toss with remaining teaspoon lemon juice in a small bowl. Beat cream in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until it just holds soft peaks. Fold in avocado purée gently but thoroughly, then fold in diced avocado. Spoon mousse into ramekins, smoothing tops. Cover surface of each mousse with a piece of plastic wrap, then cover ramekins with plastic wrap. Chill mousse until set, at least 2 hours.
• Make relish:
• Whisk together vinegar, sugar (to taste), salt, and pepper in a bowl until sugar is dissolved, then stir in tomatoes, papaya, onion, and tarragon. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour (for flavors to develop).
• Unmold mousse by running a knife around edge of each ramekin, then invert each onto a plate, discarding paper. Serve with relish.

Steps:

• Build your salad on a large platter. Use bib lettuce as the bed, then layer the tomatoes and scatter the red onions around the platter.
• Cut the avocado in half lengthwise cutting around the pit. Separate the halves and scoop out the pit with a spoon, then use the spoon to scoop the avocado from its skin. Place the avocado in a food processor bowl and combine with lemon juice, chopped red onion, cilantro, coarse salt and water. Grind until the avocado mixture is smooth, then stream oil into dressing. Adjust seasonings and pour over salad, then serve. Dressing may be stored 3 or 4 days in airtight container.

Steps:

• Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place tomatillos in pan and toast until charred on 1 side, about 10 minutes for a medium or large tomatillo. The color in the middle should be fading from pale green to olive. Turn tomatillos over and continue to grill until charred on the other side, about 10 minutes, but not for so long that they burst. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
• Place chile(s), garlic clove and onion slice in skillet and toast, turning often, until chile is lightly charred and garlic is charred in spots and softened. The onion should be lightly colored on both sides but not charred black (that will make it bitter). Remove from heat. Peel the garlic and transfer, with the onion and chiles, to a blender. Add tomatillos and any liquid that may have accumulated in the bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine diced avocados and papaya in a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss together. Season to taste with salt. Serve as a salad or a salsa.

Steps:

• Mix the vinegar, orange juice, orange peel, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
• Gradually whisk in oil until dressing is thoroughly blended.
• Stir in the tomatoes, cilantro, shallot and jalapeno, toss lightly to mix; allow to stand, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 hours to blend flavors.
• Just before serving, cut avocados lengthwise into halves; remove and discard pit, cut the avocados lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
• Arrange the avocados over chilled, lettuce lined plates; top with tomato relish and garnish with a spring of cilantro, orange peel or tomato wedge.

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine avocado and lime juice; set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients, mix well and carefully fold into avocado mixture.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 30 minutes.
• Just before serving, stir well.
• A nice addition to broiled chicken or fish.
