Here are some ideas
Avocado Bread
Makes 1 loaf
Ingredients:
300g all-purpose flour
165g sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 medium avocado, mashed
110ml buttermilk
100g chopped pecans
Method:
Preheat the oven to 190 C. Generously grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to blend thoroughly. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and avocado. Stir in the buttermilk.
Add to the dry ingredients and blend well. Stir in the pecans.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Avocado Cake
Ingredients:
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 medium avocado, mashed
110ml buttermilk or sour milk
200g chopped pecans
200g chopped candied cherries
150g chopped candied pineapple, optional
300g sifted all-purpose flour
165g sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Method:
Preheat oven to 170 C. Mix egg, avocado, buttermilk, pecans, cherries and pineapple.
Sift together remaining ingredients into a large bowl. Pour avocado mixture into flour mixture. Mix only until flour is moistened. Do not over-blend.
Pour into a well-greased 9 x 13-inch pan or 3 small 4 x 7-inch loaf pans. Fill slightly more than 1/2 full. Bake for 1 hour, or 45 minutes if using small pans.
Avocado Ice Cream
While an avocado-flavoured ice cream may seem strange to us in the UK, South Americans have long considered the avocado an ideal ingredient for sweet desserts.
Ingredients:
3 medium avocados
1/2 tsp salt
165g caster sugar
5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
165ml double cream
Method:
Peel and pit the avocados. Cut them into chunks and puree in a food processor.
With the machine running, add the remaining ingredients.
Pour the mixture into the bowl of the machine. Freeze in a suitable bowl.
Strawberry Avocado Parfait
Ingredients:
2 avocados, seeded, peeled and cubed
6 large fresh or thawed frozen strawberries
110ml strawberry flavoured yogurt
1 tbsp orange juice concentrate
1 tsp brown sugar
Shredded coconut, optional
Method:
Place the strawberries in a bowl and lightly mash with fork. Add the avocado cubes and gently mix together. Spoon strawberry/avocado mixture into four long-stemmed wine glasses.
Combine yogurt, orange juice concentrate and brown sugar in a small bowl.
Drizzle yogurt mixture over strawberries and avocado and sprinkle with coconut.
AvoSalsa
Can’t decide on salsa or guacamole? Have it both ways with this dip that sounds as zesty as it tastes.
Ingredients:
2 ripe medium avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
1 large ripe tomato, diced
1 finely chopped red onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
Juice of 1 large lime
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
Method
In medium bowl, combine all ingredients.
Toss well and serve.
Put it on a sandwich or in a salad...............
leave pit in it and put it in fridge it will stay good for a few days, the browing is normal its just from the air
I put mine on a green salad or a pasta salad with Italian dressing. Yummy.
i'd eat it anyway , so give it to me
do you have a dog??? my dogs love it, and it is good for them in small amounts. helps with their coats and skin. do not give the skin or pit to them, that is not healthy, but the fruit is. add to a salad, slice it for sandwiches, cube it for a topping in a soup, or just put a little lemon juice on it, and eat later. cover it to help keep it fresh.
a little lemon juice will help it stay fresh longer
