There's more to avocados than guacamole! Their creamy texture can be used for recipes across the board, from nutritious and hearty breakfasts, to scrumptious desserts. But have you ever thought to pair it with pasta? Instead of the classic pesto sauce, opt for this more nutritious version.
Avocados are high in healthy fats, are a good source of fiber, pack a vitamin and mineral-laden punch, and research has also shown that consuming avocados might also help with cancer prevention. This recipe will add some good fats to your patty mix.
To ensure you're selecting an avocado that is perfectly green and creamy on the inside, peel back the stem and see if it's green underneath. If it is, the avocado is perfect. If you can't peel it, it's not ripe yet, and if it's brown- it's overripe.
This recipe uses Cojita cheese. This is a salty, crumbly, Mexican cow milk cheese. Feta cheese will do as well.
Not all recipes have to be so extravagant. This recipe is for those times you feel uninspired, don't know what to eat, or what to cook. Then a sandwich crosses your mind. Let us suggest a real gourmet sandwich- no more cheese and ketchup sandwich!
Hard to say what makes this recipe so good. Is it the cheese? The avocado? Or maybe it's the mushrooms, so supple and full of flavor they could easily be mistaken for a steak.
Why add avocado to cookies, of all things? Why, for the protein punch, of course! But not only will it amp up the nutritional value of a simple chocolate chip cookie, it will also enhance the texture and make it creamy and smooth.
