Avocado Egg Rolls
Total Time: 45 mins Servings: 5 2 egg rolls each Yield: 10 egg rolls

Ingredients

1/2 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp thinly sliced scallions
3 medium garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp tamarind purée
2 tsp tamari
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
1/4 cup tap water, divided
3 tbsp fresh lime juice, divided (from 2 medium limes)
1 1/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
3 small avocados, diced (about 3 cups)
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped
10 7-inch square egg roll wrappers
Cooking spray

Directions

-Gather all ingredients.
-Process cashews, olive oil, honey, scallions, garlic, vinegar, tamarind purée, tamari, turmeric, 2/3 cup of the cilantro, 2 tablespoons of the water, 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt in a blender until smooth and cashews are finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
-Stir together avocados, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, the remaining 1/3 cup cilantro, the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until fully combined.
-Place the remaining 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl next to a clean work surface. Place one egg roll wrapper on the work surface with a corner facing you. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the avocado mixture horizontally across the center of wrapper, leaving 2-inches uncovered toward the side corners.
-Dip your finger in water and dab over all outer edges of the egg roll wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you up and over about 1/2-inch over the avocado mixture; press lightly to adhere. Then fold the side corners over the filling to create an envelope shape. Roll up to form an egg roll shape, pressing the last corner to the outside of the egg roll to adhere. Place the egg roll on a baking sheet or large plate and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
-Preheat air fryer to 390°F according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 12 minutes. Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Working in batches if needed, place the egg rolls in the basket and generously coat with cooking spray. Cook in the air fryer, turning twice during the cooking process, until deeply golden brown and crispy, about 12 minutes.
-Transfer the rolls to a serving plate or platter, and serve immediately with the reserved tamarind-cashew dipping sauce.

Beer Bread
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 50 minutes Total Time: 1 hour


Ingredients

3 cups (390g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (52g) sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
12 oz beer
1/2 cup (112g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add the beer and gently fold together until just mixed. It’s ok if there’s a touch of flour that still isn’t totally incorporated. You don’t want to over mix it or it’ll turn out tough.
Pour half of the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×5 inch loaf pan and spread it around the bottom and onto the sides of the pan to grease it.
Spoon the dough evenly into the pan and pour the rest of the butter evenly on top of the dough.
Place loaf pan on a cookie sheet to catch any butter that spills over as it bakes. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in loaf pan for 15 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Serve warm or cool completely and reheat slices for 15-20 seconds.
