1/3 cup finely chopped red onion |
1/4 cup finely chopped, sliced, pickled jalapenos |
3 tbsp finely chopped cilantro |
1 tsp grated lime zest |
2 tsp lime juice |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/2 tsp ground black pepper |
1 or 2 fat garlic cloves, minced |
3 large eggs |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
2 cups unseasoned dry breadcrumbs |
oil for frying, as needed |
kosher or sea salt, (optional) - to taste |
Directions:
1. Peel and pit avocados. In a bowl, coarsely mash avocados; fold in onion, jalapenos, cilantro, lime zest and juice, salt, pepper, and garlic.
2. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap. Spoon avocado mixture into pan; spread into an even layer. Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface; freeze until solid, 6 to 8 hours.
3. At least an hour before serving, in a small shallow bowl, beat eggs with 3 tablespoons water.
4. Remove avocado mixture to a cutting board; cut into small cubes. Dip each cube in flour, then egg wash, breadcrumbs, and again in wash and breadcrumbs. Arrange in a large baking pan; cover and return to the freezer until firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
