Avocado cashew fritters with tartare sauce

Method

1. In a saucepan, bring to the boil the water, butter, salt, cayenne pepper, cumin and coriander. Add the flour and stir well until the mixture thickens into a dough.

2. Remove the dough from direct heat and whisk in the beaten egg, whisking constantly until well mixed. Mix in the avocado, cashews and tarragon.

3. To make the tartare sauce mix together the mayonnaise, tarragon, cornichons, capers and shallots. Season lightly with freshly ground pepper.

4. Heat up a deep fat fryer of sunflower oil to approximately 180ºC.

5. Fry the fritters in batches. Using a teaspoon gently drop small portions of the avocado dough into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes.

6. The fritters are ready once they start to float to the surface of the fryer. Remove the cooked fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

7. Served immediate with a sprinkle of salt and the fresh tartar sauce.
