The FastDay Forum

Absolutely love em has anyone got any nice recipes with them that are not too fattening on non fast days? Thinking something a little different to salad?

How about avocado chocolate mousse? I've been meaning to make this:

I usually just chop them up and add them to things like chilis or sandwiches.

Mashed on toast seems a favourite, they were discussed here.

Savoury: Baked avocados. Here is a good recipe: http://wellnessmama.com/5637/avocado-breakfast-bake/

Sweet: Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:
1 avocado
2 tablespoons of cacao
2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup

Action:
1. Either blend all ingredients in a food processor and make it smooth and creamy OR mash the avocado with a fork in a bowl
2. Add cacao and honey. Taste it, add more cacao if you want it more chocolate and more honey if you want it sweeter!

Sorry to disappoint you Muftanza but nursebean is pulling my leg as I think she recalls me posting about my aversion to avocados! I know how good and healthy they are but just can't face tasting one for some reason. Went for a Mexican meal yesterday and had girded my loins to have a go in anticipation of guacamole being served, but it wasn't with the dishes we ordered so I've had a reprieve!

Sorry about that @Callyanna couldn't resist!

Lol Bean, with your avatar snickering away like that ... I can see you laughing and snickering at drawing Callyanna into the avocado thread, naughty, funny girl!

Sometimes I just dollop a really lovely mayonnaise into 1/2 a perfect avocado, a grind of pepper and I just eat it. Avocado heaven is also as I first was introduced by my folks a squeeze of lemon juice and mashed then spread on a São cracker. Absolutely beautiful paired up with large shelled tiger prawns
