Help me prepare my first avacado.

[El Diablo]

P,

Things I do with avocados:

1) Eat them w/ chicken breast.
2) Eat them on burger.
3) Eat them on sandwich (grilled or cold sandwich).
4) Make guacamole.

The closest I've come to cooking an avocado is putting some slices in a sandwich and grilling the sandwich.

Avocados also make an excellent addition to a salad.

Side note: I am allergic to avacados, but they are worth the pain.

They are that good.

Guacamole
2 avacados
1 small onion, finely chopped
a few roma tomatoes, chopped
a few cloves (more if you like it, less if you don't) of garlic, minced
cilantro, finely chopped
the juice of one lime (good size, like a ping pong ball)

Seed the avacados & lightly mash them in a bowl, add everything else & mix it up good. Add salt & pepper to taste.

On the way home from work, an hour ago, I picked up 2 roma plum tomatoes, one small onion, and one head of garlic. I'll be using lemon instead of lime though.

Aside from the guac, I'll be doing a little sampler of other suggestions. I will post pics and give the report when done.

Since I started dating my latin GF, ive found that avacados go well with anything... on steak, with rice, in sandwiches, by themself. If they arnt ripe, and your impatient, put them in a paper bag and seal off the top to speed up the ripening process.

If you like tuna, make yourself a nice tuna salad and maybe throw in some cocktail shrimp or crab meat to mix things up. Serve the tuna/shrimp/crab meat salad scooped into an avacado half. Garnish with a lemon. Nice little refreshing appetizer that looks as good as it tastes.

The easy way to do it is cut it in half and remove the pit. Fill each half with vinegar, oil, salt, and some mustard to taste. Eat with a spoon.

Cut in half and remove pit...add some lea and perrins sauce, and you're good to go.

Soy sauce can be used if Worcestershire sauce can't be found

Well, here it is fellas. The avacado sampler as prescribed by OOT.


Here is the whole meal. I decided to eat outside because it's hot as a bastard in the house and my cell phone camera sucks, so some natural light would help the pics a bit.


I knew I was definitely going to try the soy sauce, and the worcestershire sauce made it as a last minute entry as well.


On the plate I have the guac, cleverly stuffed back inside the skin, along with chopped avacado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. I have a spoonful of sour cream on the side as was another idea brought to my attention in this thread.


About the sandwich: Italian sesame seed bread with chicken,cheese, bacon, avacado, and tomato. That one big sunovabitch. I think it weighed like 2 pounds.


In side bowls I had plain hopped avacado for dipping in the sauces, and a handfull of tortilla chips for the guac.


Here's the guac. Is that about what it should look like. It's the worst picture of the bunch, but give me some feedback about the ratio of onion:avac:tom, the best you can.


The sammich was fillin' me up quick so I stopped for a break and took another quick pic. The chips ended up on the plate so I could divide the plain chunks up into the 2 bowls and drizzle each of the 2 sauces on them.


I'll post a review of the flavor combos tomorrow. Right now it's time for some pokah!
