Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 hard-boiled eggs
yolks rubbed through a sieve, the whites f
1/4 cup half and half
1/4 cup fresh lime juice -- Strained
1/4 tsp splenda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/3 cup Vegetable oil
2 tbsp Olive oil
1/2 lb Smoked whitefish -- 250gr
2 lg avocados -- Ripe
1 red bell pepper -- capsicum
deseed, core and cut into 12 strips
pimiento

In a deep bowl, mash the egg yolks and milk together with a spoon or
table fork until they form a smooth paste. Add 1 tablespoon of the
lime juice, the sugar and the salt.

Then beat in the vegetable oil, a teaspoon or so at a time; make sure
each addition is absorbed before adding more. Add the olive oil by
teaspoonfuls, beating constantly. Stir the remaining lime juice into
the sauce and taste for seasoning.

With your fingers or a small knife, remove the skin from the fish and
pick out any bones. Drop the fish into a bowl and flake it finely
with a fork. Add the chopped egg whites and the sauce, and toss
together gently but thoroughly.

Just before serving, cut the avocados in half. With the tip of a
small knife, loosen the seeds and lift them out. Remove any brown
tissue like fibers clinging to the flesh.

Spoon the fish mixture into the avocado halves, dividing it equally
among them and mounding it slightly in the center. Arrange 3 strips
of sweet pepper or pimiento diagonally across the top of each avocado
and serve at once.

Makes 4 servings.
