I bought some avacados yesterday as i know they are good for you and at new year I had an amazing dish with avacados in it.I have no idea how to make the same thing so I wondered if you knew of any quick recipes.
I've never cooked with them, but this site looks helpful:

Do you mean guacamole, mg? (I think I got the spelling right!) Yum!
I also enjoy avocado in the simplest possible way ... just cut it in half, remove the seed, cut a few lines into the flesh, add a good squeeze of lemon juice & a little ground pepper. (A bit of salt, if you like, too) Delicious.
OOh, I actually have a lemon in the fridge, to accompany my healthy fish.
Why is all fish horrid and pointless unless its either mackeral/covered in batter/ salmon slices.
It's rather nice grilled. (Fish, I mean). Mind you, I'm speaking of fish locally available here, mackeral not being one of them! A nice tender fillet of fish can be great, too, wrapped in foil after adding lemon juice & say, some tomato slices on top & maybe a few slices of the green bits of spring onion, then baked in the oven for a little bit. (10 15 minutes?) Very nice. Juicy!
Please never criticise mackerel, its like insulting God.
Oh, I wouldn't
dream of insulting mackeral, mg! :wink: Sorry you got that impression. No, I was saying I never cooked it because it's not locally available, here, fresh. Is that better?
Thank you, yes, I sorry i go the wrong end of the stick.
Oh, and that's so easy to do! :wink:
Quick & easy Guacamole:

Peel and mash avocados in a medium serving bowl. Stir in onion, garlic, tomato, lime juice, salt and pepper. Season with remaining lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Chill for half an hour to blend flavors.
Yes, and is best served with fresh, crisp corn chips.
And, if you like avacados, it's delicious, mg. There are more complicated versions but that one is nice & quick!

You never heard of guacamole?!?!
i'd be dead right now if it wasn't for guacamole. That and raman and cereal.
Try a Avocado, turkey and swiss sandwhich or avocado on any sandwhich.
just make sure to cut off what you need and store it in the fridge with the seed still attached so it won't turn brown.
Now that we're talking about the stuff, Amigo, I'm absolutely CRAVING a hit of guacamole! Oooooooooooooh! It's SO good!
Ive heard of guacamole but never knew what it was/looks like.
My friend has an avocado tree.I get five free avocado trees a week.
we fight for them in my house. I had to get my grandma in a headlock. She finally lost her grip on the precious avocado
I was thinking it might have been the avocado dish you mentioned right at the start of the thread, mg?

Brute!
Leave granny alone!
Ah, Southern California. Just checked to see where you lived, Amigo. Knew it had to be somewhere with a good climate! All those avacados - lucky you!
er ... You haven't put on weight recently, have you? :wink:
I use garlic salt in place of fresh garlic sometimes and leave out the tomato.
The thing with avocados is that it takes long to ripen then when they do you have a very short period to eat them in then when you cut them open they really get ugly quick.
