Hey, Sunday it's the big sport day, at least in the US! It's the Super Bowl! Well to be very honest with you, I was never a big fan of football while living in the US, but I must admit I always watched the Super Bowl. Not because of touchdowns or quarterbacks but for 2 reasons:
1- it always a great excuse to come to a party or throw one, BBQ with beers and finger foods.
2- for the never seen before tv ads.
If you keen on have more info about the rules here's a great article.
On internet there's a lot of Super Bowl recipes, starting with cookies or cakes, or finger foods. Even Heidi (great cookbook's author and food blog's author) post a little recipe: her guacamole.
Let me give you my own recommendation, finger food style guacamole: a guacamole flan.
I made it in September for my friend Emmanuelle's farewell party. It's super easy, but use a real blender instead of a hand mixer, or you will need to wear you swimsuit in the kitchen, because you will end up covered in guacamole!
Agar-agar guacamole flan:
Ingredients:
- 2 avocados
- juice of 1 lemon
- 15 coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon of powdered spices
- fresh grated ginger
- soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of soy cream (you can substitute by dairy cream)
- 200ml soy milk (as well substitution: milk)
- 100ml water
- 3 grams of powered agar-agar
- 1 tablespoon of chestnut oil
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil (e.v.o.o)
Directions: (need to be prepared at least 2 hours in advance)
1-Remove the avocado's flesh, don't hesitate to scrape the skin where the flesh is bright green. Your flan will get a nice color.
2- Add in your blender: avocado, lemon juice, powered spices, ginger, soy sauce, cream, chestnut and olive oils. Mix it till it's creamy. Set aside.
3- Pour in a pot the milk and water, and add slowly agar-agar. Let boil, then cook for 30 seconds at medium heat.
4- Mix well #2 and #3.
5- Place in a cooking dish in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
6- When ready (it will have reached a jelly-like consistency) cut in cubes and present with toothpicks.

Great idea!! I was actually watching Emeril's show yesterday evening on the food channel and it was all about Super Bowl recipes...

Emeril is great, I also love Giada and what Julia Child did.
Your recipe seems to me very tasty and light it's a goo idea !
I saw the beginning of the superbowl but not the end because it is little late for French! I would have preferred to see the victory of patriots and you ?
Lolo: well I didn't have any favorite . I'm not a big football fan ;-)
