Avocado Ritz or Avocado Burger – you decide!

Posted on February 3, 2019 by in seafood

Avocado Ritz is either very good or very bad. I’ve had both!

Avocado Ritz is as retro as Jellied Beetroot or meatloaf. I’ve had some really good ones, but oh boy, I have also had my share of very bad ones. So, I guess this one is my revenge on all the bad ones I have ever tasted. Also, this could go down as a Banting Seafood burger – whatever you fancy.

A Classic Avocado Ritz is all about the ripe avo, the prawns and the seafood sauce. For the seafood sauce, combine the mayonnaise, tomato sauce, cream, brandy and lemon juice, and season to taste. Of course, I gave it my spin. Just a little glam for the beginning fo the year.

Avocado Ritz/Burger

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados

2-4 T Japanese mayonnaise – Kewpie Mayo

6 prawns – cooked and cut in small cubes

Juice and Zest of 1 lime

2 T brandy

Black pepper

Salt to taste

50 – 60 g salmon/trout shavings

Micro herbs

Trout caviar – optional

Black sesame seeds

Method

Cut the avocados in half and peel. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of the one half, so it has a flat bottom to stand on the plate. Mix the mayonnaise, prawn pieces, lime juice and zest, salt and pepper and fill the hollow of two halves. Place the salmon/prawn shavings on top. Dress with micro herbs. Top with caviar and then place the top halves of the avocado on top. Lastly scatter the black sesame seeds on the avocado.
