Preparation

How to prepare Raw starter and avocado

To create the holiday starter, start by making the base: sift chickpea flour 1 and all-purpose flour in a bowl, then add the baking powder 3.

Add the salt 4, then start mixing with a whisk while gradually pouring in the water until it is fully incorporated (5-6).

When the mixture is smooth and lump-free 7, you can proceed with cooking: heat a small non-stick pan and pour a ladle of batter 8, cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip the blinis with a spatula 9,

continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown 10. As they cook, place them on a plate 11. Continue cooking the blinis until the batter is finished. With the indicated amounts, you will get 12 blinis. Now take care of the avocado: cut it in half 12

Remove the pit 13, peel the fruit with a knife 14 and then cut each half into very thin slices 15.

Form each rose with about 10 thin slices of avocado in this way: keep the slices close together, fan them out with the help of a knife and the palm of your hand 16 sliding them vertically. Then roll them into a spiral 17 to give them the typical rose shape 18.

Everything is ready to assemble the starter: take a blinis, place a slice of prosciutto 19 and an avocado rose 20 on top. Accompany the starter with a couple of tablespoons of orange marmalade (to make it more liquid you can slightly blend it with an immersion blender 21 and immediately serve your raw starter and avocado.

Storage

It is recommended to consume the raw starter and avocado immediately; you can store the cooked blinis in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Freezing is not recommended.
