Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Prep time: 10 minutes
Freeze time: 5 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Yield: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
  • 2 slices of bread
  • 1/3 cup Best Guacamole Ever!
  • 5 sprigs fresh cilantro
  • 2 slices tomato
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
Cooking directions
  1. I used shredded cheese for this recipe because I melt the cheese in the broiler first so that the tomatoes and cilantro get covered in gooey cheese.
  2. So take your two slices of bread and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Put some cheese on the bread, then add the cilantro and tomato (each on a different slice). Then top with more cheese.
  3. Place the tray in the broiler just long enough for the cheese to melt, about 30 seconds or so. The key here is to melt the cheese but don’t wilt the cilantro.
  4. Remove the tray from the boiler and smear on some guac.
  5. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to an iron skillet and melt it over a medium-high heat. Then place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and brown on both sides, melting the cheese further.
  6. Enjoy!

Chilli Prawn Tacos with Citrus Guacamole

Serves 4.

Hands-on time: 15 minutes.

Total time: 45 minutes.Juicy grapefruit and lime brighten up these fresh and light shrimp tacos.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 large grapefruit

• 2 cloves garlic, minced, divided

• 450g large uncooked prawns, peeled, deveined and tails removed

• ½ cup thinly sliced green onions, divided

• 1 tsp chilli powder

• ¼ tsp sea salt

• 1 lime, zested and juiced

• 1 avocado, peeled and pitted

• 8 15cm corn tortillas, warmed

INSTRUCTIONS:

ONE : Zest grapefruit and set zest aside in a medium bowl. Segment grapefruit: With a paring knife, slice off ends and remove pith, working from top of fruit to bottom. In a wide shallow bowl, use a knife to make incisions along membranes toward centre of fruit and cut segments free. Cut into bite-size pieces. Reserve juice in bowl and transfer segment pieces to bowl with zest.

TWO : To bowl with juice, add half of garlic, prawns, ¼ cup onions, chilli powder and salt; toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes.

THREE : Prepare guacamole: To bowl with segments and zest, add remaining half of garlic and ¼ cup onions. Stir in lime zest and juice, then smash avocado into mixture with a fork or the back of a spoon to form a chunky guacamole. Cover tightly and refrigerate until needed. (Guacamole should be eaten within 2 hours of preparation.)

FOUR : Heat a large frying pan on medium-high. Add prawn mixture and sauté, stirring frequently, until prawns are pink and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread guacamole over tortillas and top with shrimp, dividing evenly.
