Roasted Vegetable Guacamole

Ingredients:

• 3 avocados, halved and pitted
• 2 large jalapeños, halved and seeded
• 2 medium cloves garlic, crushed into a paste with coarse salt, or grated
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Juice of 1 lime

Preparation:

1. Heat a grill pan over medium heat and place the avocado and jalapeño cut-side down in the pan. Cook until the avocado and jalapeño begin to char, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. In a medium bowl, drizzle the garlic and onion with lemon and lime juice. Season generously with salt and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Peel the avocado. Place a wire rack over a bowl. Working with one avocado half at a time, place it cut-side down on the rack and press down. The rack will cut the avocado into cubes. Repeat with the remaining avocado halves. Finely chop the jalapeño and add to the guacamole. Mash with a fork until smooth. Season with salt and serve.
