Crispy Avocado Balls
Egg(s)
1 pcs
Garlic clove(s)
2 pcs
Lemon juice
2 tbsp
Avocado oil
250 ml
GEM® avocado(s)
1 pcs
Finely chopped herbs, e.g. basil, parsley or dill
2 tbsp
Flour
8 tbsp
Egg white
2 pcs
Panko
6 tbsp
Avocado oil for frying
Preparation
1

For the aioli, place the egg(s) with the garlic and lemon juice in a tall measuring cup. Slowly add the avocado oil. Put in the immersion blender and gently puree into a smooth and chunky garlic mayonnaise. Season the aioli with salt and pepper and keep refrigerated.

2

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and peel off the skin. Coarsely mash the avocado with a fork. Mix the mashed avocado with the finely chopped herbs and half of the flour. Season with salt and pepper.

3

Divide the avocado mixture into 6 balls. Sprinkle the remaining flour on a plate. Pour the egg white(s) in a deep bowl and sprinkle the panko on a separate plate.

4

Roll the balls in the flour. Then dip them in the egg white and roll them in the panko so that they are completely covered.

5

Heat the oil for frying to 170ºC (325ºF). Fry the avocado balls in the hot oil for about 2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

6

Drain the avocado balls on kitchen paper. Serve them with the aioli.
