How to prepare a stuffed avocados vegetarian recipe.
The steps to follow
- Prepare the Avocados
Begin by slicing the avocados in half and carefully removing the pits. Gently scoop out the flesh with a spoon, ensuring you keep the avocado shells intact as they will serve as bowls for the filling later. - Dice the Avocado Flesh
Cut the avocado flesh into cubes of your preferred size. Set these aside in a bowl as the base for the filling. - Mash for the Sauce
Take a small portion of the avocado flesh and mash it with a fork in a separate bowl. This mashed avocado will form the base of the creamy sauce for the final decoration. - Prepare the Tomatoes
Peel and dice the tomatoes. If possible, do this over a container to collect the juice. The tomato juice will be a key ingredient in the dressing, adding flavour and moisture to the dish. - Combine the Filling
In the bowl containing the diced avocado, mix in the chopped tomato, diced red onion, and small chunks of pineapple. This combination creates a vibrant and refreshing mixture. - Make the Dressing
In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato juice (if available), the juice of one lime, finely chopped cilantro, a splash of extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to create a zesty, fresh dressing. - Assemble the Stuffed Avocados
Using a spoon, fill the empty avocado shells with the prepared mixture of vegetables and fruits. Drizzle the dressing over the top for added flavour. - Add the Final Touches
Decorate with the mashed avocado sauce and sliced green jalapeños for a spicy kick. Finally, top each stuffed avocado with a couple of bread croutons to add a delightful crunch.
Enjoy this colourful, flavourful vegetarian dish as an appetiser, light meal, or party snack.
