This appetizer features beer-battered avocados served with grilled peach and jalapeño salsa. The components include ripe avocados, peaches, olive oil, lime juice, shallots, garlic, and jalapeños. The avocados and peaches are grilled to enhance their flavor before being diced and mixed into the salsa. A recommended beer for the batter includes a hoppy IPA or Guinness Extra Stout. The grilling process requires preheating the grill to high temperatures and brushing the fruit with olive oil and lime juice to prevent sticking.
The inspiration for this avocado appetizer came from my friend, Sandy S., who asked what I would serve with my grilled peach, avocado, and jalapeño salsa.
I thought beer-battered avocados would be perfect with my salsa, so I gave them a try, and wow! They turned out fantastic - a great mix of textures and flavors.
I recommend a hoppy IPA for the beer, but I've also made the batter with Guinness Extra Stout for extra flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high (450 degrees) for about 10 minutes. Slice the avocados and peaches in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
