Avocados are not just for guacamole and toast. This smooth and buttery tasting fruit makes a fabulous fried side item for a brunch, or anytime you want an unexpected dish. Youll love these crispy-on-the-outside and creamy-on-the-inside fried avocados. When choosing avocados at the market, select those that are unblemished and feel heavy for their size. To speed the ripening process, place avocados in a paper bag and keep at room temperature for 2 to 4 days. Once ripe, they can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. When an avocado is cut, the flesh starts to brown rapidly, so add diced or sliced avocado to a dish at the last minute. Drizzle fresh cut avocados with a little lemon or lime juice to help prevent discoloration. The addition of lime cream on these fried fritters makes for a perfect bite. The lime cream also tastes fabulous over fish.
