Avocado Cilantro Sherbet Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine the sugar, three-quarters of the cilantro (reserve the rest for garnish) and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain the cilantro syrup and store in the fridge.
• In a blender, combine the ice water, lime juice, cucumber, avocado and cilantro simple syrup. Puree on high until blended. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher. Chill until ready to serve.
• Divide the mixture among tall glasses filled with ice and garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and add cilantro. Let steep 15 minutes. Pour through a fine sieve set over a bowl; discard solids. Refrigerate syrup until cold, about 15 minutes.
• Puree avocados, cilantro syrup, and lime juice in a blender until smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in milk. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
• Chill a loaf pan in freezer at least 10 minutes. Freeze and churn avocado mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions, then transfer to pan. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until hardened, at least 2 hours; sherbet can be frozen up to 2 weeks ahead.

Steps:

• Reserve a cup of whole cilantro leaves; finely chop the rest of the leaves and tender stems. Transfer chopped leaves to a medium bowl.
• Reserve a cup of whole parsley leaves; finely chop the rest of the leaves and tender stems. Transfer chopped parsley to the bowl with the cilantro. Add scallions, jalapeño, garlic, fine salt and vinegar. Stir in oil. Taste and add more salt, vinegar or both, if needed.
• Scatter the whole cilantro and parsley leaves over 4 serving plates. Fan the avocados out on top, and sprinkle lightly with fine salt to taste. Spoon the herb dressing over the avocado, making sure to include the oil in the bowl, and top with capers. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and black pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Using a fork (for good control), beat eggs with 1 teaspoon water until yolks and whites are completely combined and no streaks remain. The water helps incorporate them and steams while the omelet cooks, which puffs it up. Season with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and a few cracks of pepper.
• Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until foaming; swirl to coat. When foam subsides, pour eggs into center of skillet. Let stand 10 seconds. Stir eggs with a rubber spatula in a circular motion with one hand while shaking skillet with the other, about 15 seconds. Reduce heat to medium. Working your way around skillet, gather outer set eggs toward center, then tip skillet so runny eggs move to outside edges, about 1 minute. Lightly spread any remaining runny eggs evenly over top and cook until creamy but no longer wet.
• Lightly press 6 thin slices of avocado into far side of omelet (this prevents them from sliding around), and add 1 tablespoon each chunky red salsa and chopped fresh cilantro leaves before folding. Remove from heat. Tip pan away from you; gently slide spatula under near side of omelet and fold up and over avocado, cilantro and salsa. Slide onto a warm plate. Top with additional chopped cilantro leaves, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, green onion, and feta cheese in a large bowl; toss together. Add the diced avocado; drizzle the lemon juice over the avocado to keep it from turning brown. Stir in the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and serve.

Steps:

• Combine blackberries and 1/4 cup water in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until fruit is very smooth, and pour into a fine mesh sieve set in a deep bowl or a large glass measuring cup. Using a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, gently press down on the mixture to extract as much liquid as possible. Don't press too hard, or some of the seeds may be forced through the strainer into the liquid. Discard any seeds or pulp that remain in the strainer. Set aside strained puree.
• In a small bowl, stir 2 teaspoons gelatin into remaining 1/4 cup cold water; let stand until gelatin dissolves, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat simple syrup over medium heat just until it is warm to the touch, and remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture, and stir until it is dissolved; let cool. Transfer to a large bowl or plastic storage container, and add reserved fruit puree.
• In a mixing bowl, beat 2 egg whites until stiff but not dry peaks form, and fold into fruit puree. Cover container, and place in refrigerator until it is well chilled before using, at least 1 hour.
• Pour mixture into an ice-cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer sherbet to a large airtight container; place in freezer at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
