Preparation
Avocado Egg Rolls Recipe adapted from: thegourmetgals.blogspot.com
(Yields 6 large rolls)
In food processor, or by hand, finely dice tomatoes, onion, and cilantro.
Gently stir together avocado, salt, and tomato mixture. Distribute filling evenly in a line on bottom third of each egg roll wrapper.
Position a wrapper so a corner is pointing toward you; fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold side corners in and roll toward the top corner. Wet the edges of the top corner with a little water. Then fold top corner over and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wraps.
Heat 2-3 inches of oil to 350 degrees (I use a candy thermometer to maintain a consistent temperature, since its constantly changing). Cook egg rolls for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Slice rolls on the diagonal and serve hot with cilantro sauce.
Sweet Cilantro Dipping Sauce
Put all ingredients except olive oil into a blender or food processor. Blend until well pureed. Stream in olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to use.
