Prepare the avocado

• Cut the avocado in half around the pit with a sharp knife.
• Twist the two halves apart and remove the pit.
• Take only 1/4 of the whole avocado so you don't use up too much.
• Peel that quarter and keep the rest of the avocado for eating or making guacamole.

Slice into sushi topping

• Lay the avocado quarter flat on the board.
• Slice it into thin, even planks with a sharp knife, using smooth knife strokes.
• Spread the slices out in a fan so they overlap slightly, ready to drape over the sushi.

Use and store

• Place the fanned avocado slices on top of your sushi roll or nigiri.
• Use or eat the remaining avocado, or mash it into a quick guacamole to avoid waste.
