How to Make Avocado Fries With Chipotle Remoulade
- Combine 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and 1 tablespoon of lime juice in a blender. Puree until completely smooth.
- Set the chipotle puree aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise.
- Gradually whisk in the chipotle puree, 1/3 at a time, tasting after each addition to adjust the spiciness to your liking.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the remoulade with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large pot over high heat. Use an instant-read thermometer to monitor the temperature, ensuring it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- While the oil heats, prepare three shallow dishes: one with 1 cup all-purpose flour, one with 2 cups water mixed with 2 tablespoons lime juice, and one with 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs.
- Cut 2 ripe avocados lengthwise into quarters.
- Remove the pit and peel the avocados.
- Cut each avocado quarter in half to create 8 wedges.
- Season the avocado wedges generously with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each avocado wedge in the flour, then dip into the lime water, and finally coat thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs.
- Carefully place the breaded avocado wedges into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for approximately 3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried avocados from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve the avocado fries immediately with lime wedges and a generous dollop of the chipotle remoulade.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
