For me Avocados are life! Since they are seasonal fruits I always look forward to their arrival with bated breath like my life depended on me getting the avocado. I live, live for the days when I can have my hands on avocados so that I can eat them as fruits, desserts or even the main meal. How awesomely delicious is guacamole that you can eat with this delicious Kenyan style nyama choma without the guilt? It is said that people first eat their food by sight. How food is presented really matters especially to us foodies who sometimes get too clinicaly obsessed when it comes to food pairings and presentations. One of the best ways to present interesting and delicious looking food is by garnishes. Garnishing food just gives it that much more EXTRA vibe! Food should never be boring. Even if you are just making for yourself, a little garnish won't hurt. So I thought I would combine my love for avocado and garnishing and present to you how to create an avocado garnish or otherwise known as Avocado Rose. When creating an avocado rose make sure you do not use an over ripe avocado. It should be firm so that you can slice it as thinly as possible and it will not get all mushy on you. Make sure to sprinkle lemon juice on the avocado so that it does not turn grey before you have had the chance to present it. You can garnish your toast bread, salad, main meals with this avocado rose making the food already appetizing and beautiful to look at. Such an easy method that you can try out to give your food a touch of cuisine class. Have you made an avocado rose before? Let me know
INGREDIENTS
1 Ripe firm Avocado
METHOD
Cut the avocado in half
Peel off the skin careful not to squish the avocado or break it
Lay one half of the avocado cut side down on a chopping board or clean work surface
Slice avocado thinly. It is important that the slices be thin enough so that they are easier to shape
Slice the whole avocado to the end
Fan out the avocado slices so that they can form a long line that has slices overlapping each other
Starting from one end curl avocado slices towards the center
Continue to curl the avocado slices into the center until you get a rose like shape
