>>> THERE IS A DANGER LURKING IN THE KITCHENS EVERYWHERE AND
SENDING MORE PEOPLE TO THE
HOSPITAL.
HOSPITAL.
HOSPITAL. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE
AVOCADO.
AVOCADO.
AVOCADO. PEOPLE ARE SLICING INTO THE
FRUIT AND INTO THEIR HANDS.
IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO THE
BACHELORETTE CONTESTANT, AND
THE VIEW COHOST JOY.
>> IT IS THE AVOCADO HAND, THAT
IS WHAT THEY ARE CALLING IT AND
IT IS A BIG PROBLEM.
LET'S START WITH A SIMPLE
QUESTION, WHY IS THIS SO HARD
TO CUT?
TO CUT?
TO CUT? >> YOU HAVE DIFFERENT TEXTURES.
YOU HAVE THE HARD SKIN AND THE
CREAMY FRUIT PART WHICH HAS A
LOT OF OIL IN IT.
PEOPLE WILL SLIP WHICH IS THE
PROBLEM.
PROBLEM.
PROBLEM. YOU NEED A SHARP KNIFE.
USE WHAT IS COMFORTABLE TO YOU.
THE IDEA IS TO PUT THIS ON THE
CUTTING BOARD, AND MAKE IT
SECURE.
SECURE.
SECURE. IF IT IS NOT SECURE, PUT THE
TOWEL UNDER IT.
I WILL ROLE THIS, AND THEN I
ROLL THE AVOCADO.
-- I WILL ROLL THIS, AND THEN I
ROLL THE AVOCADO.
I WILL PUT THIS INTO QUARTERS.
NOW I WILL TWIST IT TO OPEN IT.
I HAVE SECTIONS AND WATCH WHAT
WILL HAPPEN TO THE PIT.
>> IT POPS RIGHT OUT.
>> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. THE OTHER THING THAT PEOPLE DO
IS TO TAKE THE KNIFE, AND THEY
GO TO SCOOP OUT THE AVOCADO.
THAT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
USE A SPOON.
LOOK HOW NICELY THAT COMES OUT.
>> I KNOW PEOPLE ARE WORRIED
ABOUT WASTING SOME OF IT.
>> YOU CAN HAVE THE SPOON, AND
YOU CAN KEEP SCRAPING IT OUT.
NOW I HAVE NICE SLICES.
NOW I COULD CUT THIS WITH A
BUTTER KNIFE IF I WANTED TO.
ALSO, YOU DO NOT WANT TO PUT
THE AVOCADO IN YOUR HAND AND
TAKE THE KNIFE TO SCORE IT.
THAT IS A NO-NO.
REMEMBER TO TAKE THE EXTRA TIME
TO GET THE METAL SPOON AND
SCOOP IT OUT.
>> WE KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
GETTING AVOCADOS, AND YOU ARE
SHOWING US SOMETHING DIFFERENT
TODAY THAN GUACAMOLE.
>> AVOCADOS ARE HEALTHY AND
HERE'S A GREAT OPTION TO MAKE
AS A SIDE DISH.
YOU CAN MAKE THIS AHEAD AND
BRING IT TO WORK.
IN THIS BOWL I HAVE TWO CUPS OF
ROASTED COOKED CORN, BLACK
BEANS THAT ARE RINSED AND
DRAINED, AND A JICAMA.
NEXT LET'S ADD THE FRESH
CILANTRO.
CILANTRO.
CILANTRO. I HAVE A HALF CUP OF RED ONION.
IT IS EASY.
THIS IS JUST A STIRRING AND
DUMPING DEAL.
DUMPING DEAL. IT IS NOT HARD TO MAKE AND
PROBABLY A LOT OF THESE
INGREDIENTS YOU ALREADY HAVE IN
YOUR HOUSE.
YOUR HOUSE. >> WE USE CANNED TOMATOES FOR
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. >>
THIS. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. THESE TOMATOES ALREADY HAVE THE
JELLIES IN THEM.
THIS -- THE CHILIES IN THEM.
THIS BRAND IS NICE AND FRESH.
I PUT THE LIME JUICE ON THE
AVOCADOS TO HELP WITH THE
BROWNING.
BROWNING.
BROWNING. I WILL MAKE MY DRESSING WHICH
IS RESERVED TOMATO JUICE FROM
THE CAN, AVOCADO OIL, LIME
JUICE.
JUICE.
JUICE. I
JUICE. I HAVE 2 OR 3 CLOVES OF GARLIC,
DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU LIKE.
WE ADD SALT.
I WILL MIX THIS UP AND POUR
THIS OVER THE SALAD.
>> BEAUTIFUL.
>> BEAUTIFUL. REMEMBER WHEN SLICING AVOCADOS
TO BE CAREFUL WITH
