Avocado Tartare

Ingredients

• 4 Large ripe avocados
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup sesame soy dressing, Kewpie brand
• 2 Tbls sriracha sauce
• 1 Tbls mirin
• 2 Tbls chives, finely chopped
• 1 Tbls lime juice
• Sriracha pearls (optional)
• Microgreens (optional)

Method

1. Dice the avocados into small cubes (about 5mm) and mix with the mirin.
2. Add the Kewpie sesame soy dressing, chopped shallot, chives, sriracha sauce and lime juice and mix together gently so as not to mush the avocado too much.
3. Using a tartare mould, cookie cutter or similar fill the mould with the avocado mixture, gently remove the mould and top with microgreens and sriracha pearls (if using).
4. NOTES:
5. You can serve this directly on a plate without using a mould, it doesn't change the delicious taste.
6. Sriracha pearls are optional but they do give a nice spicy "kick" to the dish when you bite down on one. They can be purchased at specialty stores or you can have a go at making your own like I have.
