I have been seeing and hearing a lot about fried avocadoes lately and since we eat so many already, I knew we had to try them this way. Yesterday I got myself a box of Panko bread crumbs (like they use for tempura) and got to making some of my own.
I used:
1 almost-ripe avocado (very firm with a bit of 'give')
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 dash each salt, black pepper, chili powder
1/4 cup sunflower oil
coarse sea salt
Mix the dry breading ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Start a wide saucepan on medium heat with sunflower oil.
Cut avocado in half around pit, discard pit.
Slice lengthwise through the avocado fruit carefully, then slide a spoon between the skin and the fruit itself; slices will pop right out.
Coat each slice with breading mixture, firmly pressing the Panko mixture into the avocado so it sticks. Repeat until coated with all slices.
Carefully place each coated slice into the hot oil and cook for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from oil with metal slatted spoon and drain on paper towel/dish rag. Salt generously and devour!
I think we may have to try fried guacamole bites, too. Guacamole, cheddar, mayo and bacon balled up, rolled in Panko, and then fried.
Yes.
Stumble it!
