Other than guacamole what the heck can you make out of avocados?

[Goathead]

Don't say avocado pie either, because I have heard of that and it sounds really disgusting to me. You can't cook them in anything, I guess they will be relegated to a salad ingredient for the rest of eternity.

1. Soup

[alphafemale]

14. Yes! A Thai recipe. Chilled and very good!

Lime juice and cilantro go in as I recall.

[MichiganVote]

17. Very good! I didn't think anyone would know

Best way to make salsa is with avocados too. Look for a great Mex place, they'll know how to make it.

2. california rolls

3. Whip them on a blender with milk and sugar

Consume right afterwards -- don't store.

Mmmmmmmmm! :9

Edit: You may want to drop some lemon juice in too.

[Goathead]

8. That sounds like avocado pie

without the crust

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. More milk than avocado, so you drink it instead of eating. (nt)

[da_chimperor]

34. Oh damn . . . avocado milkshakes. I'm really having cravings now.

The ones I had had some apple in them too, but they were still fantastic. I lived in Brazil for a year and that's one of the things I miss most along with Churrasco, Guaraná, and Água de Coco.

4. Put them in a sandwich

It can used in place of mayo.

[Neecy]

5. sure

Eat 'em plain with a little bit of salt...really good. Or slice it in half and fill it with shrimp or crab salad.

[FellowAmerican]

6. They are great on a salad!

7. exorcist vomit n/t

9. A restaurant here in my town...

...batters them and has a deep fried avacodo dish that is out of this world. After its deep fried, salsa is put in the center, and you eat it like a dip with chips. :9

10. here ya go

[arcane1]

11. add it to anything and call it "California"

avocado + mashed potatos = California Mashed Potatos

avocado + pasta = California Pasta

etc

don't ask me why, I still haven't figured it out... :shrug:

[AlCzervik]

16. Since moving here i've learned to ask for no avacado

on my sandwiches. I got a BLT at Mel's diner and they put avacado slices on it, yuck.

[arcane1]

20. lol, exactly

and be wary of anything called "california something"

[Rumba]

Wouldn't that be a BLAT?

Or maybe it's BALT.

[AlCzervik]

23. They should call it what it is

a good sandwich ruined.

[Goathead]

12. Yes, yes these are all things you put avocados into or next to

Is there heated food that you can make with avos?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

22. I make a chicken and avocado casserole that pretty darn good!

My favorite thing to do with them is make salsa.

Having grown-up in California I know my way around an avocado.

I make are really great avocado and ginger vichyssoise. It may be served cold but it is wonderful!

[Goathead]

27. That sounds really good

We have two avo trees in our back yard, but they haven't started to produce yet.:(

[Lone_Star_Dem]

30. Well, when the crop starts coming in let me know

I bet I use avocado's in at least 50 different dishes.

We had two adult trees in our back yard when I was a kid. They can make quite a few fruits when they mature!

[Goathead]

31. Where can I get a recipe for your avo and chicken casserole?

I'd like to try that.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

32. Here you go!

I like mine extra spicy but you can adjust the Tabasco to taste. :)

1 cup broad flat green noodles
1 large ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cliantro, minced
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
8 dashes Tabasco sauce
2-1/4 cups half-and-half
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
6 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, (approximately 2 pounds) poached
1/2 cup roasted, peeled, and coarsely chopped fresh chiles or 1 (4-ounce) can whole green chiles, chopped coarse


Instructions
Prepare noodles according to package directions, drain, and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Drizzle avocado slices with lime juice and set aside. Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour, salt, and Tabasco over low heat until mixture bubbles. Add half-and-half slowly, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Add cheese and stir until it has melted. Reserve 1 cup of this sauce. Mix remainder with cooked noodles. Place chicken in bottom of a 9 x12 x 3-inch rectangular baking dish. Cover with chopped green chiles. Spoon noodle mixture over chicken and chiles. Place avocado slices on top and pour reserved sauce over avocados. Bake, uncovered, 35 minutes.

18. Avocado, Bacon and Pesto sandwich

yum.

[RainDog]

19. sandwiches

you can make two sandwiches per avocado.

use good, sturdy wheat bread, not that shit bread in packages.

slice avocado, also tomatoes, sprouts, lettuce and a little mayo with salt and pepper.

also make a good salad of sliced avocado wedges, sliced hearts of palm (they may be endangered, if so, I'm bad I suppose), tomatoes (wedges).

wash and drain a really small head of loose leaf lettuce, like buttercress, separate the leaves onto four chilled salad plates and alternate the avocado, tom. and hearts of palm.

make a vinegrette:

one fourth cup first press olive oil
one half cup vinegar
crushed peppercorns
a little salt
half teaspoon good dijon mustard (not that crappy American kind)

shake and pour on salad.

serve with slices from a baquette.

you can also make a sauce for meats or fish with avocado, but I don't remember the recipe.

[schultzee]

21. On a sandwich and tomato, asparagus, avacado salad.

[RebelOne]

24. They are great eaten with lemon juice, mayonnaise

and salt and pepper.

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. This whole thread has made me so hungry! eom

[Hillaryin08]

26. Baby avacados

[No Mandate Here.]

28. A water glass with a big seed and three toothpicks, with pond scum

EOM

[girl gone mad]

29. You can eat them plain.

So good when they are just ripe and so good for you..

I serve plain avocado slices with salmon or in a pear salad (avocados are technically pears).

There are also several pasta dishes you can make.
