The avocado thread - Page 2

We haven't had a kitchen and food thread for quite some time now. Maybe time for another one? My suggestion is: avocados.

I learned about them last year. I came into contact with them before, but never knew what to do with them, and found them quite disgusting to eat. It just did not came to my mind that I should smash and spice them up, making dips, creams and filling of them. I treated them as an ordinary vegetable, or tried so, and that experiment failed terribly.

This has changed, I have beocme a big fan, and I know process one avocado in diffrent style as a topping or filling for baguette and flatbread, dressing for pasta and even boiled potatoe. Also as spread for simple bread.
I use three base recipes.

1.
one avocado, some olive oil, water and lemon juice until it has a processable consistence, 1 clove of smashed garlic, salt, black pepper, plenty of wild garlic. On or in baguette, flatbread that is polstered with fresh Feta cheese, etc. - I kill for this.

2.
one avocado, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, water, lots (!) of dill, anchovy paste, dried sea weed, nicely smashed in a blender. Then chop a few shrimps in and short so that they stay coarse. Spread a thin layer of the paste on the baguette or bread bag, like a sandwich with butter, then line the base with thin smoked salmon, and then cover this with the actual amount of avocado paste. - Not just for fish lovers!

3.
one avocado smashed, then olive oil, salt, paprica powder, hilli powder, oregano, possibly thyme, rosemary, a lot of parmesan ! Add small pieces of paprika laid to taste in vinegar water and/or tomatoes; diced salami are also good, chopped onion. - Good basis for variations in Italian and Mediterranean taste experiments. Feta cheese.

The advantage of this food is: its extremely healthy, its tasty, it is easy to make, it is cheap, and it is delicous.

What are your favourite dishes with avocado? I know that some people treat and roast them in slices like any vegetable, but I have no idea what to do with them. Completely new dips made of them also would be interesting to know, sauces like the ones I described above. I think about trying them for something sweet, with fruits, honey, coconut oil and such: for pan cake maybe, or crepes.
