Tomacado

Methods

• Halve the avocado, remove the seed and scoop out avocado flesh and put in a bowl. Add lemon juice and mix.
• Put the tomatoes in a blender jar and blend to a smooth puree.
• Take ½ avocado flesh in another bowl and mash. Add tomato puree and mix. Add remaining avocado flesh and mix well. Add salt and crushed peppercorns and mix well.
• Fill a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle with the avocado-tomato mixture and refrigerate to set and thicken. This is tomacado mousse.
• Discard the ends of the cucumber and make ribbons with a peeler.
• Shape each cucumber ribbon to a round ring and place them on a serving platter. Pipe the tomacado mousse in the center of cucumber ribbon rounds.
• Top each with a tomato triangle and serve immediately.
