Avocado roses will beautify any plate, below I show you how to do your roses.
INGREDIENTS:
ripped avocados
salt and pepper
lime juice
any toast

  1. Select the perfect avocado. Your avocado has to be ripe in order to easily peel the skin off.
  2. Cut avocado in half lengthwise. Use a sharp knife to cut the avocado around its circumference. Go top-to-bottom, right down the middle to evenly halve.
  3. Remove the pit. Take your knife and pierce the seed of the avocado with the blade using a good amount of force. Wiggle the knife back and forth with the seed mounted on the blade to loosen from the flesh of the fruit. The seed should then easily lift out.
  4. Remove outer skin from avocado. If you followed the first step correctly, this will be a breeze. The skin should easily lift up from the fruit. Start at one edge and gently peel the skin back to reveal the bright green flesh underneath. Continue peeling until the tough skin has been completely removed.
  5. Slice across. Lay the avocado halves flat side down. Using a sharp knife, make thin slices across the avocado, repeating down the entire fruit from end-to-end. Aim for each slice to be between 2-3mm thick. Although it can be tricky, consistent cuts and thickness will give more visually appealing results.
  6. Fan the slices out. Keeping the cut pieces touching each other, encourage the slices to move into a diagonal orientation using your hands. Continue splaying out the slices until they form a thin line.
  7. Roll into a spiral. Start curling the fruit inwards on itself at one end of your avocado slices. Continue rolling the slices until a spiral shape forms and your avocado flower begins to take shape. Ensure it is neatly twisted around itself in a compact circle, using your hands to correct the shape if needed.
  8. Douse the fruit in lemon or lime juice.  As avocado sits out in the open air, it oxidizes and develops brown spots. The acid in the lemon or lime juice will prevent the avocado from turning brown and keep your rose beautiful until you’re ready to eat it.
  9. Plate your avocado rose. Use a spatula or knife to lift the avocado rose off of the cutting board and transfer it to your serving dish.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
