advocado in resturants?

Question

when you go to a resturant and have advocado they are always soft but when i buy them they are always hard even when they feel soft on the outside, can you cook them to make them soft. how do you get the skin to come off of red green and yellow peppers ?

Answer 1

No...you cannot cook avocadoes. You don't want avocadoes that are completely mushy...they just need to give a little. To ripen quicker place them in a brown paper bag with a slice of apple sealed up for a couple of days. Otherwise, to get the skin off of peppers you will need to blister the skin either on a grill or in the oven under a broiler. Then take the peppers after you have blistered the skin while they are still hot and place in a clear bowl with Saran wrap over the top and let them steam for about 20 minutes. After that the skin should be able to be rubbed off.

Answer 2

A ripe avocado is slightly soft to the touch. If you buy one that is hard you can speed the ripening by putting it into a brown paper bag. To USE the avocado (and this is probably what you mean by soft or cooking), you slice it in half, length-wise, remove the pit, then scoop out the flesh.

peppers: if you have a gas stove top it's real easy. Set the pepper on a low flame. Once it's black turn it to another side of the pepper. Once covered in black. Let cool slightly then scrape off the blackened skin.

If you don't have a gas stove top you can do this on a grill OR you can cut up the peppers, put them skin up on a baking sheet and broil until blackened.
