FOUR MOUTH WATERING WAYS TO EAT AVOCADO...



FOUR MOUTH WATERING WAYS TO EAT AVOCADO…


Well in previous post I told you three of seven mouth watering ways to eat avocado, the other four of them are here now. If you think you know all the ways to eat avocado, then think again. & if you are not much of an avocado kind of person then prepare to be converted.



1st: NOT SO TRADITIONAL ENGLISH BREAKFAST

If you fancy a fry up with a twist why not swap your bacon for avocado? It makes a greasy fry up suddenly seem somewhat more sophisticated whilst providing you with a creamy goodness once your avocado has mixed with your gooey eggs.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
2 pieces of whole meal toast

½ - 1 mighty avocado
Salt & pepper to toast

Poach the eggs & toast the bread. Spread the mighty avocado on both pieces of the toast with a fork, mashing it into the bread. Place the eggs on top of the avocado & sprinkle with salt & pepper.



2nd: CRISP BACON & AVOCADO TOASTS

Now, totally going against recipe number 4 which sneezed up the typical morning fry up by replacing bacon with avocado, this time we are taking both bacon & avocado & marrying them up in the perfect edible union.

Ingredients:

4 rashers smoked bacon, streaky
6 cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small ripe avocado, peeled & stoned
Squeeze lime juice

Pinch dried chili flakes
2 chunky slices granary bread

Heat grill to high. Put the bacon & cherry tomatoes, cut side up, on a grill rack & grill for 10 mines, turning the bacon halfway through, until crisp. Meanwhile, roughly mash the avocado with a fork & stir in the lime juice, chili flakes, some salt, if you like, & pepper. Toast the bread until golden & spoon on the mashed avocado. Top with the tomatoes & bacon, then serve.



3rd: AVOCADO SMOOTHIE

This recipe was passed on to me from a friend.

Ingredients:

1 large or 2 small avocado
1 x 150ml pot apricot yogurt

500ml real pineapple juice
1 ice cubes

Place in a blender & blend until smooth.



4th: NEW YORK GOODWHICH

Oh goodness. I do not know if you are ready for this. The magnitude of the sheer mouth watering marvelous-ness of the recipe that I am about to impart on you is of epic proportions. It may not sound amazing, but you just have to have faith. You Go.

Ingredients:

1 cup broccoli
2 tablespoons carrot, grated

2 tablespoons red cabbage, grated
2 tablespoons courgette grated

A cup of barbecued onions (see below)
1 whole-wheat pita

1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
3 thin slivers of dill pickle

½ cup finely shredded lettuce
½ an avocado

Sea salt & pepper to taste
Break the broccoli up into little pieces & steam until tender. Combine the carrot, cabbage & courgette altogether & mix thoroughly.

BBQ onions

2 tablespoons oil
1 white onion

2-3 good squirts of your favorite BBQ sauce
In a small skillet heat the oil. Add the onion to the pan & sauté until it begins to soften. Add the BBQ sauce, & continue sautéing, stirring frequently, until onion is thoroughly wilted. This makes enough for 3-4 Good which.

Assembling the Good which

Heat your pita breads in the oven of toaster until they are soft but not crisp & then cut a sliver in the top so that the pocket opens easily. Combine all the ingredients & stuff into the pocket. Be prepared to be blown away.

For all the ways to eat avocado, the recipes listed here are some of my all time favorites. It is such a versatile fruit which can be used to not only add nutrition but an incredible taste to any meal. Does anyone else have any killer ways to eat avocado? If so, sharing is caring, people…
