Ingredients list for the Avocado Tartare with Crayfish
Serves 4:
- 3/4 oz (20g) pistachios
- 3/4 oz (20g) almonds
- 3/4 oz (20g) pine nuts
- 2 ripe avocados
- 12 shelled boiled crayfish tails
- 1 teaspoon pistachio paste
- The juice of half a lime
- Dill
- Salad leaves
Tools
- 2 ½ inch ring mold for shaping the dish
Directions
1. Chop the nuts, sliver the almonds and set aside.
2. In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork, add lime juice, chopped nuts (just keep a teaspoon for decoration), pistachio paste, salt and pepper, mix everything.
3. Spread the avocado mixture in a flat container (the layer shouldn’t excess 1 inch) and freeze for 30-40 minutes.
4. Punch out guacamole discs with the help of your ring mold or cookie cutter. You can also fill your shapes with flaked frozen guacamole, then un-mold.
5. Transfer the guacamole cut outs on plates and top with 3 crayfish tails each. Add dill and salad leaves. Decorate your plates crushed nuts and slivered almonds. Serve with crackers or slices of toasted bread on the side.
Tip: You can also fill glasses with this preparation, if this sounds more easy to achieve.
