serves 2
4 whole hazelnuts (filberts), for garnish
1 large ripe avocado
3 to 4 teaspoons Hazelnut Oil
1 fresh lime cut into small wedges
Fresh herbs for garnish (sage, parsley or basil, etc.)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
Broil hazelnuts on a sheet pan for 2 to 3 minutes or until skins begin to crack.
Remove from oven and wrap nuts in a kitchen towel
and rub together to remove skins, then coarsely chop the hazelnuts. Can be done
in advance.
Cut avocado in half lengthwise, remove pit and drizzle with a small
amount of lime juice on cut sides to keep from turning brown. Fill the
avocado cavities
with hazelnut oil. Place on individual serving plates, sprinkle avocadoes lightly with
salt, pepper and chopped hazelnuts. Garnish
plate with a lime wedge, fresh herbs and serve.
