Ingredients

Method

1
Peel and separate the yolks from the whites of the hard-boiled eggs. Chop the egg whites into small pieces and set aside; reserve the yolks for the sauce.
2
In a bowl, combine the egg yolks with milk and mash with a fork until smooth. Add lime juice, sugar, and salt, then whisk until the yolk mixture is creamy and well combined.
3
Slowly whisk the vegetable oil and olive oil into the egg yolk mixture in a steady stream until a smooth, thick sauce forms. Fold in the Pili-Pili Sauce to create a spicy, creamy dressing.
4
In a separate bowl, gently flake the smoked fish with a fork, removing any bones and skin. Combine the flaked fish with the chopped egg whites.
5
Cut the ripe avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh onto a serving platter or individual plates. Arrange them cut-side up to create a slight hollow.
6
Top each avocado half with a generous portion of the smoked fish and egg white mixture.
7
Pour or spoon the creamy Pili-Pili sauce over the filled avocados, coating generously. Garnish with red bell pepper strips or pimento and serve immediately at room temperature.
