ACTUALLY A BEAR.
INTERESTING.
IT'S AN AVOCADO FRITATA.
GREAT SIMPLE RECIPE.
REALLY GOOD FOR BREAKFAST AND
BRUNCH AND A GREAT LIGHT DINNER
AND PAIRS REALLY WELL WITH A
CRISP WHITE WINE.
SOUNDS DELICIOUS.
MADE WITH EGGS, CREAM, SALT,
PEPPER, AVOCADO.
SHREDDED HASHBROWN POTATO BASE.
SWISS CHEESE.
I HAVE ONE GOING.
I WANT YOU TO SLICE THE AVOCADO
AND LEARN HOW TO PIT IT.
I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR?
LOOK FOR A GOOD DARK SKIN.
SQUEEZE IT AND IT'S FIRM AND NOT
BE ABLE TO SQUISH INTO IT.
THE HARD ONES RIPEN VERY QUICKLY
ON THE COUNTER.
DAY, TWO DAYS.
TOO RIPE -- RIGHT NOW PUT IT IN
THE FRIDGE AND THAT SLOWS THE
PROCESS DOWN.
IT'S A GREAT VEGETABLE.
EASY TO WORK WITH.
LET'S PIT THE AVOCADO.
A HUGE HUGE PIT IN THE CENTER.
THAT HELPS TO AVOID YOU FROM
CUTTING YOURSELF.
SO TAKE THE AVOCADO, TAKE THE
KNIFE.
HIT IT UNTIL YOU HIT THE PIT.
TWIST THE AVOCADO AROUND ALL THE
WAY.
SPIRAL CUT THERE.
TWIST IT APART JUST LIKE THAT.
SEE IF YOU CAN TWIST HERE.
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU MINE.
OKAY?
WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO NOW
IS -- GET THE PIT OUT AND SNAP
YOUR KNIFE INTO IT.
POP IT.
I'M SCARED BUT I'LL DO IT.
TWIST AND PULL IT OUT.
THERE YOU GO.
AND SET THAT DOWN.
AMAZING.
I'M SAVING THIS AS A SOUVENIR
[LAUGHS]
DICED AVOCADO AND SLICED.
SO -- USE A REGULAR TABLE KNIFE
ON THIS.
I'M GOING TO USE MINE BECAUSE
I'VE DONE THIS A LOT OF TIMES.
DO THE DICED FIRST.
MAKE STRIPES RIGHT DOWN THE
MIDDLE.
PERFECT.
TURN 90 DEGREES AND CROSS THAT.
AND THAT MADE OUR DICED AVOCADO.
TAKE YOUR SPOON AND SCOOP IT OUT
OF THE SHELL.
OKAY?
ALL SET.
READY TO GO FOR ANY RECIPE.
DICED AND READY.
SO SLICED -- I HAVE SOME
READY JUST IN CASE IT DOESN'T GO
AS PLANNED.
TAKE THE OTHER HALF.
AND MAKE LONG SKINNY STRIPES.
PERFECT.
AGAIN JUST LIKE THE OTHER -- GO
AHEAD AND GET THE SLICES OUT.
YOU'LL SEE HOW THE SLICES JUST
COME OUT.
AND TAKE THE SLICES AND ARRANGE
THEM ON TOP OF THE FRITATTA.
ANY WAY YOU WANT.
AS PRETTY OR JUST SPRINKLE IT
ON.
THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN MAKE IT
YOUR ON.
TAKE THE SWISS AND SPRINKLE IT
ON TOP.
SO THEY'RE LIKE A DOLLAR
RIGHT NOW.
YEAH.
DOLLAR RIGHT NOW.
REALLY GOOD SUPPLEMENT.
SUPER HIGH IN VITAMIN C AND
ANTIOXIDANTS.
IT'S ACTUALLY A SUPER FRUIT.
WONDERFUL PRODUCT.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT THAT UNDER
THE BROILER FOR THREE MINUTES.
BUT THROUGH THE MAGIC OF
TELEVISION I HAVE ONE HERE.
ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL?
PERFECT.
THIS IS OUR AVOCADO FRITRATA.
SLIDE IT ON THE CUTTING BOARD.
YOU CAN PRESENT IT ON THE BOARD
JUST LIKE THAT.
COMES OUT READY TO GO.
PUT IT ON THE TABLE LIKE THAT.
PLATE THAT FOR YOU.
AND YOU'RE SET TO GO.
AND COOKING WITH CURTIS.
WE HAVE OUR RECIPE THIS
MONTH.
IT'S FABULOUS.
THIS WEEK IT'S THE GRILLED
SHRIMP FRITATA.
MANGO AND AVOCADO.
