Avocado

So, er, make soup with it.

Vicky's idea sounds fantastic.

xpost - i get that with aubergines unless they're pureed.

Especially good with a salty lemon juice based vinaigrette. Also radishes.

I like to use it in place of mayo in tuna salad.

One avocado
2 cans of tuna
diced celery
dice onion
diced grapes, walnuts, whatever you want
salt and pepper
lemon juice

Just mash it all up together, and put it on a sourdough roll. That's really good.

block silken tofu
two avocados
juice of a lemon
olive oil
salt & tabasco

blend them together and eat.

nummy!

I have some nice avocados in my fridge at the moment, just begging for me to do something creative with them. Seeing as I'm not in the mood for collage, some cooking might be nice instead.

This was nice the other day. Avocado on toast, but a bit posher. Grill one side of the toast, mash up the avocado with a good, liberal splash of lime juice and some fresh basil (cut the basil up small) and a bit of black pepper (think I might have used olive oil too, but you prob don't need to) spread on toast, and stick under grill again. For some reason it looks posher if you cut it up into little squares. Nice as a sort of side thing, if you're having pasta or something.

But what would you make? REVIVE THREAD!

avocados are so rich that doing very much to them seems like gilding the lily, but they're nice diced and added into black bean soup and spread on toast as recommended above.

Adding avocado to things >>>> adding things to avocado.

E.g., BLT+avocado is mouth-watering, but adding much more than salt and lime and maybe some cayenne yields less of a return.

Take the avocados out of the fridge, quick! They don't like it in there. Put them in a bowl with some bananas instead.

I'm not sure I agree with this, as my favourite thing to do with an avocado is halve it, take out the stone and fill the holes with vinaigrette, then spoon into mouth. Yumski.

Oh, I already said that upthread.

just wanna thank giant ground sloths for going extinct and leaving more avocados for me. but:

One avocado
2 cans of tuna

NO!

roll all the tuna in the world back into the sea
WHERE IT BELONGS

ha i saw that giant sloth thing, it was excellent and i share the gratitude

I discovered a superb taste-combination earlier, although I'm unconvinced that it isn't already a going concern in some corner of Central or South America:

avocado and coffee

that sounds . . . wait, waht?

Discovered by eating an avocado with a spoon that still had some coffee beans stuck to it. Went from o_O to ^_^ in mere moments, Esquire
