I was fixing a chicken, cauliflower, and potato curry for supper tonight (a ‘what’s in the refrigerator that needs used up’ recipe). While the curry was simmering I was looking at an avocado that was sitting on the counter.
That avocado really needed to be used up too, so I went out on the Internet looking for Indian avocado recipes and found an interesting recipe for avocado chutney.
It was fantastic!
Ingredients
1 Avocado
About 1/2 cup diced red onion
Dash cayenne pepper
Curry powder to taste
2 T chopped parsley (cilantro would probably be better, but I didn’t have any)
1 lemon, juiced
1 t salt
Procedure
Start the diced onion cooking in a pan with a little oil at medium-low heat
Halve, pit, peel, and roughly chop the avocado
Add the avocado, curry powder, and cayenne pepper to the pan with the onions
Cook until the onions are translucent.
Put the cooked onions and avocado in a food processor along with lemon juice and salt, process until smooth.
Taste and adjust spices
Serve at room temperature as a condiment.
This recipe struck me as really odd. Fry an avocado? But it was delicious. This is a great way to use a slightly under ripe avocado.
