FOOD Words By LOVE BITES: BITS & PIECES FOR VALENTINE 36 www.glamsquadmagazine.com
FOOD Avocados are, to me, among the most sensuous, luscious and luxurious of ingredients. Add how delicious, soft and subtly flavored they are, and you get a clear winner for Valentine’s Day. If you are planning a menu, especially with a hint of romance, avocados should be there. Our love bites: bits & pieces for this special Valentine is Avocado Soup With Tortilla Crisps And Fresh Cheese. Avocado Soup With Tortilla Crisps And Fresh Cheese This is a simple and easy soup to make, yet it sounds incredibly exotic. You can serve it hot, if you use hot chicken broth or vegetable broth to puree with the avocado, but it is also delicious at room temperature or chilled. The crunchiness of the tortilla crisps and the tangy notes of the fresh cheese contrast nicely with the silky soup. You can make the soup 12 hours ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator. RECIPE • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter • 1 tablespoon corn or safflower oil • 1 1/4 cups roughly chopped white onion • 1 jalapeno chili, sliced in half, seeded if less heat is desired • 3 large ripe Hass avocados (about 2 1/4 pounds), halved, seeded, meat scooped out • 3/4 cup cilantro leaves, rinsed and loosely packed • 6 cups chicken broth (may substitute with vegetable broth) • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice • 3/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, more or less to taste • 1 1/2 cups tortilla crisps (see below) • 1 cup queso fresco, crumbled (may substitute farmers cheese or a mild feta) PREPARATION Heat butter and oil in a medium skillet set over medium-low. Once butter melts and bubbles, stir in the onion and jalapeno. Cook, stirring periodically, until the onion has softened and become translucent, and the edges are beginning to brown lightly, 12 to 15 minutes. Add cilantro leaves to the pan. Once cilantro has wilted, 30 seconds to a minute later, turn off the heat. Place avocado in the blender or food processor along with the cooked onion and jalapeno mixture, broth, lime juice and salt. Puree until smooth, taste for salt and add more if necessary. You may serve in bowls garnished with tortilla crisps and cheese, or let your guests add garnishes to their liking. www.glamsquadmagazine.com 37
