AVOCADO-CORIANDER
DIP
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large / about 500 g of orange sweet potatoes
- 1½ tbsp cornflour / cornstarch
- 2 tbsp rapeseed / canola or other vegetable oil (olive oil will make them less crispy)
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½-¾ tsp ground hot chilli
- ½ tsp ground smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- about ½ tsp fine sea salt
AVOCADO-CORIANDER DIP
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- ¼ cup fresh coriander leaves (save stalks for a curry or veg stock)
- 1 garlic clove, pressed
- about ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- white or black pepper, to taste
METHOD
1.
Peel the potato and cut in half lengthwise. Cut
it into long ½ cm / 0.2″ wide matchsticks. Try to make them as even as possible
so that they cook evenly.
2.
Plunge the matchsticks into a bowl of cold water
and let them sit in it while you mix your spices.
3.
Mix all the spices with cornflower, but do not
add salt at this stage yet.
4.
Take the potato matchsticks out of the water,
rinse them and blot dry with a kitchen towel.
5.
Place dry potato matchsticks in a rectangular
dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of oil and use your hands to ensure that all
matchsticks have been coated in oil.
6.
Pre-heat the oven to 225° C / 435° F and line a
baking tray with a piece of baking paper.
7.
Using a small sieve sprinkle a thin amount of
cornflour-spices mixture over the greased matchsticks. Make sure all sides are
covered.
8.
Place potato matchsticks on the baking tray in a
single layer and make sure fries do not touch each other as otherwise they will
end up soggy. The more space they have around them the crispier they will turn
out.
9.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes. 20 minutes in,
gently turn the fries to the other side. If you have some small fries in
between larger ones, they will be done sooner so you may want to take them out
a bit earlier. Sprinkle with salt once done – adding salt to the spices and
cornflour mixture stops the fries from crisping up.
10.
Combine all dip ingredients in a chopper or
small blender and whiz until you get a thick dip. You may need to add a
tablespoon or so of water to achieve the right consistency.
