Avacado Fries

Without an extensive cooking background, I remain jealous of those who just throw ingredients together and are able to make something absolutely delicious. Slowly, however, I am gathering recipes and advice, building a base that will help me out later on. I’m learning to work with InDesign, and am creating a recipe book for recipes that I’ve found/altered/created (currently, its mostly just found), and the science behind making good food. I hope to jot down my experiences with these recipes, and to rate and make further suggestions, updating as I act on these suggestions. Later on, I hope to pdf reference “cookbook” to anyone who wishes to read it.

Avocado Fries

(found on find.myrecipes.com under “Avocado Fries,” original source: Trey Foshee, Sunset, April 2009)
Canola oil
1 cup  Flour
1 tsp  Salt
2  Large eggs
1 1 cup  Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
2  Avocados, sliced into eigths
1. Heat enough canola oil in a medium saucepan to cover the
avocado slices (until oil is barely bubbling)
2. Mix flour with salt in a shallow plate, put beaten eggs in a
small bown, and put panko in a seperate small plate
3 Dip/cover avocado slices in flour, then eggs, then panko
4. Fry avocados until golden (about 30+ seconds)
5. Transfer avocados to plate lined with paper towels
6. Sprinkle with salt

It really can’t get much simpler than this. Use this recipe for shrimp, cucumbers, zucchini, just about anything (I assume. I actually haven’t tried this with anything else). Spend maybe 5 or ten minutes, make a huge mess, and you’ve got yourself a nice, satisfying, not-as-healthy version of a healthy food!  Now the numbers (1c flour, 2 large eggs) etc don’t really matter as long as you get something on the avocados. I did originally sprinkle some pepper on them, but found that it doesn’t seem to complement the avocado’s unique buttery taste that well. Let me know if you have suggestions, cause I’m definitely making this again sometime!
