so my brother just brought me a big bag of avacados. He knows I like to put a slice on my sandwiches but there is no way I can eat them all. Anyone have any good recipes for them

Guacamole - mash with lime juice and chilli, serve with chilli or tortilla chips, etc.
Use in place of mayo in a tuna-mayo sandwich
Stuff with seafood or fish (prawns, crab or smoked salmon all work well).
Stuff with chicken Peruvian style (I had this once while in Peru and remember it being really good) https://peruvianspoon.wordpress.com/2014/07/23/stuffed-avocado-with-chicken-salad-palta-rellena/0 -

I did an experiment with my food saver. I had several packages of marketplace chunky avocado from walmart. I emptied them into a mason jar and food savered it. I did that 2 weeks ago. I've used it several times since then, re vacuuming each time. It is just now faintly turning brown. I didn't use any lime or lemon.0

So simple but delish! I've actually toped a turkey burger with it once and it was so good!0 -
There's an oatmeal thread floating around here from this morning...someone shared they put avocado in it. I think that sounds good.

Guacamole - Avocado, chopped onion, oregano, lime, salt and chopped hard boiled eggs. Mix together. Enjoy.
Add to sandwiches and salads...
or eat some avocado tacos - just avocado and queso fresco, lime and salt in warm corn tortillas.
I could eat aguacate everyday.0 -

I love my foodsaver! I mainly use it for meat. It has saved us thousands of dollars over the years. True story: I found a turkey squirreled away in my freezer that was 4 years old. When thawed it was still perfect. We smoked it and it was great. We've had hamburger and steak last over a year. It's truly been the best money saving kitchen item I own. I can't recommend it enough. (I do not work for Food Saver, either ;-) )0 -
Chocolate mousse for the perfect clean cheat.
Avocado
Banana
Cacao powder
Vanilla essence
Just blend the lot and sieve
Have a look at ther full recipe of my Instagram @eatgymfitness
Or you could make the above in to a cake by adding an egg and baking powder....bake in the oven or microwave0 -
I mix avocados in cottage cheese and tomatoes.
Also on top of eggs, in smoothies, or mixed in with tuna.
I also throw them on top of spicy soups, or mix with Ro-tel, garlic, cilantro and lime juice and dip pita chips in it.0 -
Man I wish I had that problem! I love them in salads, raw, stuffed with tuna or chicken salads, wrapped up in tacos/burritos, etc. Today I had egg salad on toast topped with sliced avocado and black pepper. Yum!0

Baked Stuffed Avocados
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 tsp Olive oil
6 Medium Button mushrooms, chopped
1/3 cup Cottage cheese, smooth, fat free
1 Tbs Chives, finely chopped
1/2 tsp Soy sauce, low sodium
1 Small Avocado
1 tsp. Lemon juice, fresh
2 tsp. Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/2 tsp. Paprika
Instructions:
1. Sauté the mushrooms in the oil until just softened and lightly browned. Remove and drain on a paper towel, then mix with the cottage cheese, chives and soy sauce.
2. Halve the avocados and remove the pits, pour a little lemon juice onto a flat plate and moisten the cut surfaces by placing avocado halves, face down, into the juice.
3. Fill the avocados with the mushroom mixture, smoothing over the entire surface, not just the hollows.
4. Sprinkle with parmesan and dust with paprika.
5. Arrange the avocados slightly apart in a baking dish. Add 3/4 inch cold water to the dish and bake on the middle shelf of the oven at 350 F for 18-20 minutes, or until just heated through.
6. Place each half on a warmed serving plate and serve immediately.0 -

I make chicken salad with it. So mix it with shredded up chicken instead of mayo.
I also just cube it and eat it with chicken. Like grilled chicken.
I also mash it and put it on sandwiches and burgers
Guacamole is good. Onion, tomato, lime juice, cilantro and salt.
I love avocados

By the way, guacamole freezes well. I make good sized batches when avocados are on sale. My recipe isn't just chiles, lime and avocado. I also use diced tomato, diced onion, diced garlic, cumin (VERY important) and a good handful of chopped cilantro (coriander leaves).0

since my hubby and kids don't like avocado too much, i normally cut them in small cubes and freeze them and every morning or when making smoothies i would add some of the frozen avocado cubes (this will make for a creamier smoothie.. hope this helps..0
