Crispy Fried Coconut Asparagus Rolls, I came up with this one serendipitously I had a bunch of empty young coconut shells (I drink a lot of young coconut water – nature’s sports drink) and wanted to figure out something tasty to do with the meat I had a pot of oil on the stove from deep frying the night before and some asparagus in the fridge and so I used my imagination and came up with this tasty concoction ”

Steps
|
1
Done
|
Open the young coconuts and drink the water or save it for later (or use it to make a smoothie). |
|
2
Done
|
Split the coconut shell in equal halves. |
|
3
Done
|
Using a tablespoon or small serving spoon, scoop out the meat from the coconuts trying to get it all in one piece (should look like a skull cap). Peel off any skin that may be on the outer surface. |
|
4
Done
|
Cut or tear the piece of coconut meat into three or four equal sized pieces. |
|
5
Done
|
Wash the asparagus and cut them in three, and discard the bottom third. |
|
6
Done
|
Take two asparagus pieces and roll them up in one of your coconut meat pieces. |
|
7
Done
|
Spear the roll with a bamboo skewer trying to get it secure (it helps to spear through the asparagus stalk as well). |
|
8
Done
|
Repeat the process with each piece of coconut meat until your skewer is loaded up with 4 or 5 rolls. If your coconut meat is too soft it may be tricky to handle this and in that case it might help to use a second bamboo skewer for security. |
|
9
Done
|
Heat the oil to between 350 and 375. |
|
10
Done
|
Carefully lower the skewers into the oil. It will splatter like mad so make sure to do it safely - use a deep fryer if you have one. |
|
11
Done
|
Remove from the oil when the coconut meat looks dark brown and crispy. Place on a paper towel and add salt. |
|
12
Done
|
For the dipping sauce combine the dipping sauce ingredients. |
