Foodie Friday: tempura tacos with fresh avocado

March 20, 2020 Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Foodie Friday

Chef and cookbook authorย Luke Hinesย is encouraging Aussies to embrace the arrival of the misunderstood Shepard avocado by learning how to use and choose them correctly! New YouGov Galaxy research shows 20% of Millennials struggled to identify when Shepard avocados areย ripe โ€“ which means the avocado-loving generation could be leaving ripe ones on the supermarket shelf.

Ingredients

-2 Shepard avocados, skin and seed removed, and flesh cut into quarters (the skin of a Shepard avocado always stays green. To pick a ripe one, press gently near the top, if it gives a little, it is good to go).
-1 teaspoon sea salt
-Coconut oil, for deep frying
-70 g (1โ„2 cup) arrowroot or tapioca flour,ย for dusting

TORTILLAS
-100 g (1 cup) almond meal
-125 g (1 cup) arrowroot or tapioca flour
-180 ml coconut milk
-1โ„2ย teaspoon sea salt
-125 ml (1โ„2 cup) filtered water
-pinch of ground turmeric
-2โ€“3 tablespoons coconut oil

TEMPURA BATTER
-200 ml filtered water
-200 g arrowroot or tapioca flour
-1 teaspoon sea salt

AVOCADO CREAM
-2 Shepard avocados
-1โ„4ย iceberg lettuce, shredded
-140 g (1โ„2ย cup) Mayo
-juice of 1 lime
-1 handful of coriander leaves,ย roughly torn

SLAW
-1โ„4 red cabbage, shredded
-juice of 1 lemon or lime
-1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
-1 handful of coriander leaves,ย roughly torn or chopped, to garnish

Method

Prepare the slaw by combining the red cabbage, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar in a bowl and mix well to combine. Set aside in the dirge for the cabbage to soften into a zesty slaw. This is a good time to also prepare the avocado cream. Combine all listed ingredients in a food processor and blitz until well combined, smith and creamy, set aside in the fridge ready for serving.

To make the tortillas, blitz together all the ingredients except the coconut oil inย a food processor or high-speed blender to form a smoothย batter. Melt a littleย of the coconut oil in a large frying pan over mediumโ€“low heat. Pour in 60 mlย (1โ„4 cup) of the batter and smooth outย into a thin round shape with a spatulaย or spoon. Cook for 1โ€“2 minutes until sturdy enough to flip, then cook for aย further 1โ€“2 minutes onย the other side until cooked through, puffed up andย golden. Transfer the cooked taco to a plate in the oven to keep warm. Repeatย thisย process with the remaining batter, adding a little more oil each time, toย make 8 tortillas.

To make the tempura batter, whisk all the ingredients together in a large bowlย until smooth.

Half-fill a large, heavy-based saucepan with coconut oil and place over mediumย heat. Heat the oil to 180ยฐC. (To test if the oil is hot enough,ย simply drop aย small piece of bread into it โ€“ if it sizzles and bubbles, youโ€™re good to go.)

Add the arrowroot flour to a shallow bowl. Working in batches of 4โ€“5, lightlyย coat the avocado wedges first in the arrowroot or tapiocaย flour and then in theย batter. Immediately lower the coated wedges, one at a time, into the hot oil andย deep-fry for 4 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges and very crispy. Remove from the panย using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain.ย Repeat with theย remaining avocado wedges strips, being sure to bring the oil back upย to heat between batches.

To serve, divide the tortillas among plates and top each with some red cabbage slaw, avocado tempura, avocado cream and fresh coriander. Season with salt and enjoy!

Just a little sneak peek of an amazing house makeo Just a little sneak peek of an amazing house makeover! A 60s house, the first ever display home in Baulkham Hills, transformed into a Cape Cod inspired, resort style residence! 

โ€œIt was in original condition and felt like a time warp. The kitchen could have been from The Brady Bunch and there was lots of shaggy carpet and yellow and green wallpaper,โ€ says renovator Sabina Contreras.

Wait until you see the rest (via link in bio). It goes under the hammer this Saturday!

How good is that wee window seat?!
