Deep-fried avocado with tomato, ginger and coriander salsa

By Pete Goffe-Wood

Easy
25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • 150 g flour
  • 1 T smoked paprika
  • 1 T ground cumin
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 avocados
  • 3 free-range eggs, beaten
  • 250 g breadcrumbs
  • For the salsa, mix:

  • 7 small tomatoes, quartered
  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • ½ red chilli, chopped
  • ½ green chilli, chopped
  • 1 T ginger, finely chopped
  • 3 T coriander, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 T olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

Heat the oil in a saucepan. Season the flour with the paprika, cumin, salt and pepper.

Halve the avocados, then slice into thirds. Dip into the seasoned flour, then into the beaten egg and into the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate lined with baking paper. Repeat with the rest of the avocado. 3

Drop the avocado pieces into the hot oil and fry for a few seconds, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately with the salsa.

Cook's note: This dish is a nice play on textures: crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The salsa adds spice and freshness.
