Avocado Rose Appetizer

Prep Time30 minutes
Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • 2 tortilla
  • olive oil
  • 1 avocado ripe
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • half a lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dill fresh or dried
  • sea salt
  • black pepper
  • fresh basil leaves
  • large flower cookie cutter
  • muffin pan

Instructions

  • Turn on your oven to 175°C/ 350° F.
  • Cut the tortilla flowers with the cookie cutter.
  • Press the flowers into the muffin pan.
  • Brush the top with olive oil.
  • Bake for 3-5 minutes until the flowers are golden.
  • Allow to cool in the pan.
  • Mix the sour cream, juice of half a lemon, sea salt, pepper, and dill (do chop it if you are using fresh).
  • Spoon the sour cream mixture into the tortilla flowers.
  • Halve the avocado and remove the pit.
  • Gently peel the avocado and slice it thinly.
  • Individually place the avocado slices into the tortilla base, overlapping and curving them as you go to resemble a rose. Use larger pieces of avocado around the perimeter of the tortilla and the smaller pieces towards the middle.
  • Twirl the avocado centerpiece around itself and place it in the middle.
  • Stick two basil leaves to one side.
  • Squeeze lemon juice over the roses to prevent browning.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Serve.
