Jamaican
Spice Cubes by Jeremy Safron
This recipe is in the style of Jamaican jerk baked tofu using
avocado instead of tofu. This recipe requires a firm yet ripe
avocado and a special cutting style that i learned from a japanese
sushi chef long ago.
Ingredients:
3 Avocados
1
cup tahini
1 tablespoon ginger juice
1/4 cup tamarind
1 habenjero pepper
1 teaspoon Allspice powder
1 soaked date
3 sprigs of cilantro
Bottom 3 inches of a scallion
1 tablespoon tangerine juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch of Salt
*add water only if needed*
Put
the avocados aside while preparing the sauce Place all ingredients
(except avocados) in a strong blender or blender cup (nut butter
jar screwed onto an oster or other generic blender base)
Blend until smooth (making sure the pepper blended well) adding
water slowly as needed.
Now
take an avocado and cut it in half, remove the pit, and place
it open face down - shell side up
Next cut two small incisions in the back of the avocado shell.
Peel back the shell of the avocado leaving the fruit exposed
on the cutting board. Gently slice the avocado into cubes. Place
the cubes in a bowl and pour the sauce over them while softly
moving them around in order to coat every one. Put the coated
avocado cubes on a dehydrator screen sheet If there is extra
sauce pour it over the top (it may drip thru so use a tray below
with a teflex) or you can save the sauce for afterwards. Now
dry the cubes at 108º for 1-4 hours. They are ready to
eat or serve them with a jamaican stew or slaw or jambalaya.
