the most common use of avocado in the west is in salads in salads or making the Mexican guacamole recipe but I'm going to give you a few more ideas a few more ideas for you to check out that the avocado can be really versatile let's how to make stuffed avocados stuffed avocado of avocado quinoa and salad elements let's go one by one I've already pulled one of them out I'll show you how I do it, you open an avocado
you push a little bit on the pipe the truth is it comes out
and then without breaking it, we throw it away and with a lot of care you go making cuts like streets so that it comes out later in squares to the other side being careful not to cut the shell once we have already made the cuts it is simply a matter of going over the edge the knife gently making the whole shape of the fruit the form of the fruit and they come out practically alone you give a little help and it doesn't matter if the cut is not perfect perfect in fact we are fine like this because it suits us to leave a little bit that helps a lot to the dish
the recipe we have already taken out practically everything and here we have the two shells which are going to be the container of today's recipe set them aside
on the other hand I've cooked quinoa a very very light cereal very very very light and very very quick to make the measurements are the same as the rice one of quinoa I was going to say one of rice and it is that it is an automatism one of quinoa two of water you put it on high heat until it boils and boil and from there you lower it and you leave it to do 15 minutes you have cereal ready it is fantastic it is very loose the truth is that it facilitates a lot the kitchen it's super nutritious and in this bowl we're going to mix the this bowl we are going to mix the squares of avocado [Sound] we put the plate aside [Sound] we are going to cut tomato very small [Sound] and it's mostly about making a salad a salad with quinoa and avocado consistent and protein and a haber if I can do it without the tomato to undo me and I almost have it [Sound] we put tomato [Sound] I cut red onion so as not to cry in front of the public also tiny red onion has a lot of color and is very aromatic
I bring it here lastly this is the final avocado container for the final avocados cilantro a plant that I love it is delicious we cut it tiny to add it this dish can remind a little bit of tabbouleh [Sound] we put it in [Sound] when you cut it all the smell comes out [Sound] we have removed all the leaves from the cilantro, we put it aside and we put it aside and we go with the vinaigrette in a small bowl you pour the extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin olive oil extra virgin olive oil super important I use it even for frying
[Sound] let's go with a little bit of apple cider vinegar
[Sound] it's a simple vinaigrette but you could make the one you like with a touch of salt
[Sound] and a dash of curry for a touch of exotica [Sound] enough to bring out the flavor to bring out the flavor but not sting and I clean my fingers you cook what you have that one gets involved and I don't have a small spoon but we can use this one which is also is the one that we're going to mix with [Sound] you go around [Sound] to make everything cohesive [Sound] you add of the dressing to this salad which is not only protein because of the avocado but also because of the quinoa it's a fabulous combination
combination are an ideal dish for vegetarians
[Sound] and then everything shakes [Sound] try it and see if you like it with salt [Sound] a little bit more you see mmm it is very good a little more salt because quinoa is not cooked with salt
with salt it is recommended to cook it only with water because it grows in very high lands that already have salt we stir again [Sound] and now if you don't need to test it any more because I know it's perfect [Sound] we take the bowl we enter we prepare the avocado filling very carefully [Sound] is perfect because the hard and rough hard and rough skin resists a lot [Sound] we fill it well so that it's nice and succulent to the top with a little mountain glue it here we have one to be very careful [Sound] perfect and the second avocado you can have this on its own as a main course or as a starter for a meal
it's also perfect for dinner one avocado gives you enough to enough to fill several bowls so you can have it for you can keep it because it's a salad
excellent invite me to dinner someone is another plan [Sound] That's [Sound] it's a super cute dish and it's really good if you want to give it a final touch of pepper just in the presentation
[Sound] here it is [Sound] we could say the avocado is a neutral fruit because because it has a flavor that is not even sweet salty and you can transform it into whatever you want
you want we just made a stuffed avocado in a salad version and now we're going to make a milkshake a sweet milkshake this is a recipe adapted from a classic smoothie from the canary islands and avocado milkshake that has avocados in it
it is usually made with cow's milk you can do it this way I'm going to do it today with milk
oat milk and it's usually sweetened with sugar but I'm going I'm going towards the honey we're adapting and making it these classic recipes something a little bit more new with new flavors and above all more healthy I have cut the avocado into small pieces if it's just for you for a person with a medium to medium avocado as it is a good size will be enough if it is for more people for more people for two people take the whole avocado
if you like a super intense avocado then you can put it all you put it all but try it first if you don't yet you know this smoothie little by little we put inside the blender the avocado which slides by itself add the oat milk more or less up to the middle and then half and then you will see how thick it gets if it it needs more or not there is still you see the avocado on top honey we add two tablespoons of honey it is also super healthy add the second spoonful [Sound] lid and mixer ready for noise [Sound] try it [Sound] perfect and all that's left is put it in a nice glass and it's like a custard and the children love it and if you feel like it you can put the fridge for a little while mmm nutritious is healthy treat [Sound] avocado is also the ideal ingredient for any salsa ideal for any salsa sauce for croquettes sauce for sandwiches I'm going to give you I'm going to give you a recipe with yoghurt with half avocado and the other half you keep it, remember always covered so that it does not oxidize we cut it [Sound] in squares [Sound] we remove the skin which normally comes off in one time it's fabulous and we chop directly into the blender
[Sound] ufs fell down the good thing about avocado is that it falls apart very quickly, it is easy to cut the last little piece of it [Sound] and that's it I prepared you a natural yogurt without sugar and if it can be ecological pour it [Sound] and we're going to add the juice of half a lemon
and then when we hit the blender we're going to add it you can try it maybe you like it a little bit a little bit more citrusy with a little bit more wooden stick we break the fiber buzz careful with the eyes it stings and squeezer is directly be careful not to drop the seeds that have a very bitter taste [Sound] let's see if I can help you with the stick to get them out
won't [Sound] we dry our hands and now we only need add a touch of coarse salt they are like little crystals plus the mixer will break them perfectly and sudden pepper of pepper because this is a sauce so we give it well
[Sound] There it is mixer ready [Sound] and since it's a sauce we're not going to put it in a glass we're going to put it a glass we're going to keep it in a container it can last in the fridge for two or three days and if you are going to make a lot of sandwiches because you're going on a picnic it'll last you one sitting [Sound] and go dropping look for a tiny jar because as I said I said the avocado is super fresh and it's not going to last too long either, you have to eat you have to eat almost immediately what's in this sauce
it is also delicious for arepas a latin recipe latin recipe that I know from Venezuela
[Sound] mmm wuao super tasty and everyone will love it
