Avacado Overload!

[jaggednib]

I have a bajillion avacados and I need to use them up today, or tomorrow at the latest, before they go bad!

Quick, what are your all-time favourite avacado recipes? Bonus points if you can incorporate them into a main-meal dish without making guacomole!

i like to make a chilled avocado & cucumber soup, with some veggie stock, garlic, fresh dill and white wine vinegar. don't have a recipe because i just improvise it.

Avocado Soup! http://www.theppk.com/recipes/dbrecipes/index.php?RecipeID=175

Or smoothies! Blend 'em up with some frozen bananas and some cocoa powder and sweetener.

Or grilled avocado sammiches! I like to make these instead of grilled "cheese"-- just mash some avocado between 2 slices of bread with some garlic powder or whatever you like, butter the outside, and fry it up. Good with tomato soup.

You can make chocolate mousse out of them!

4 Ripe Organic Avocados
1 Cup of Sweetener (Agave Nectar or Evaporated Cane Juice)
1 Tbls of Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Cup of Organic Fair Trade Cocoa Powder (or Carob)

Blend it all together.
Sounds weird, but it's yummy!

This recipe wins! It's the best chocolate pudding ever.
Mann.. I wish I had tonnes of avocados, I'm obsessed with them.

There is a recipe for pasta that somehow involves avocados... I think that it has "california" in its name in Veganomicon. I'm not at home though, so I can't look it up. But if you have it, check it out!

Yeah (yum!) this isn't a pasta salad though, I think it is a hot pasta dish. I'll look it up later.

Is this it?
