Steps

Pre-cook: Peel and cut the avocado

  1. Cut the avocado in half. Hold the avocado firmly in one hand, and cut the avocado in half in the other.
    • Use a sharp knife to cut. Although the flesh of the avocado inside is quite soft, you still need a sharp knife to cut through the peel.


    • Cut the avocado around the seed.

    • The avocado seed will come out and stick half of the fruit.


  2. Scoop out the butter seeds with a spoon. If the pulp is relatively soft, use a large metal spoon to dig around the seeds and scoop out the seeds.
    • If the avocado meat is too hard, you may need to cut and remove the seeds with a knife. Cut the avocado halfway with the seeds. Cut around the seeds so that the avocado seeds are exposed just enough so you can squeeze the knife in and remove the seeds.

    • Throw away the seeds after you remove the avocado.

  3. Another way is to insert the seeds with a knife. Using a sharp knife, place the base of the knife on the center of the grain. Carefully but forcefully insert the heel of the knife into the nut, a few millimeters deep. Turn and turn the knife gently until you can remove the avocado seeds.
    • Use the folded dish towel to handle the avocado while this is done. The towel will help prevent you from getting injured if you miss the handle of the knife and will also help keep the avocado from slipping.

    • Use a big kitchen knife instead of a small pruning knife. The pruning knife will not have enough force to attach the butter seed.

  4. Take out each butter. Use a small knife to cut the flesh of the avocado into cubes. Slide the blade under the butter cubes and cut as close to the peel as possible.
    • Try not to cut off the peel of the avocado.
  5. Scoop out the avocado gut. Use a metal spoon or ice cream scoop to scoop the avocado gut. Take out each part of the butter by twisting and rotating the ice cream scoop, using the side of the spoon to scoop the butter.
    • Do not get into the peel of the avocado when you scoop out the avocado.
  6. Cut the avocado intestines into pieces. Use a sharp knife to slice the avocado halves. Use your fingers to gently separate each piece of butter from the peel.
    • Avoid cutting off the shell completely. However, you can still pry the avocado slices out of the peel if you accidentally cut them into the skin.

Method 1 of 4: Eat whole fresh avocados

  1. Cut the avocado to your liking. When eating whole butter, you can remove the avocado intestines using any of the methods described in this article.
    • You can also eat the butter directly by scooping it out of the shell.

  2. Eat unprocessed avocados. When you eat the whole avocado, you will see an aftertaste like "smoke" or "nuts."
    • These can be a delicious snack during the summer months, when avocados are in season and taste best.
  3. Sprinkle a little bit of sea salt in the butter. One of the most popular ways to eat avocados is to sprinkle salt over slices of avocado. The salt accentuates the natural flavor of the avocado and enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
    • If you're not sure how much salt to use, try starting with about 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of sea salt for each avocado.
  4. Sprinkle over fresh avocado with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, black pepper and salt. If you like blended flavors, you can try another popular treat, sprinkling with slices of butter with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. A little salt and black pepper will help make the butter more rounded.
    • Start with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) each for each avocado. Use 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt and ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) pepper for the same amount of butter.
  5. Squeeze a little lemon or lime juice over the avocado. The taste of the lemon juice complements the slightly smoky aroma of the avocado for a refreshing flavor.
    • Use lemon and lime juice as you like. If you don't know how much to add, you can start with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of lemon juice per avocado.
  6. Stir up the flavor of avocado with paprika chili. If you like to eat butter a little bit spicy then a pinch of chili powder is perfect.
    • Start with ½ - 1 teaspoon (2.5 to 5 milliliters) of chili powder, and then use it in increments.

Method 2 of 4: Butter spread

  1. Crush the avocado guts to make it pure enough to spread. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin, place it in a mixing bowl, and crush the avocado with a fork.
    • You can mash the butter balls or slices of butter, but it's a little easier if you scoop out the butter and mash it.

    • Use the flat back of the plate to crush the butter.

    • Remember that a potato mill can also be used to mash butter.

  2. Alternatively, you can use a food blender. If you like a smooth buttery texture, you can grind the butter using a food blender on slow speed for about 30 seconds.
    • Don't grind butter for too long.If you grind too long, you may end up with a loose buttery texture instead of mashed butter.
  3. Spread mashed butter on the bread. Mashed butter on bread is a delicious and nutritious choice for slices of whole grain breads.
    • In addition to regular bread, you can also spread this butter on toast, bagels, waffles and English muffins.
  4. Put some more ingredients on the butter. If the pure flavor of the avocado is not that impressive, you can put on the top of the butter some additional ingredients. Eg:
    • Cucumber slices
    • Kiwi slices
    • Tomato slices
    • Feta cheese
    • Poached eggs
    • Dried red chili
    • Salsa
  5. Use mashed butter instead of mayonnaise. If you prefer a healthier condiment, you can spread it over sandwiches or sandwiches that you would normally eat with mayonnaise. Some delicious options include:
    • Turkey sandwiches
    • Hamburgers and veggies
    • Chicken breast sandwich
    • Soybean bread

Method 3 of 4: Butter Making Sauce (Guacamole)

  1. Prepare the ingredients. You need the avocado to be peeled and seeded using the methods described in this article. You also need to add chopped onions, tomatoes, peppers and coriander, crushed or crushed garlic.
    • If using garlic powder, you need ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) of garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.

    • If you are using dried cilantro instead of fresh coriander, use 4 teaspoons (20 ml) of herbs.

    • Remove seeds from green peppers when slicing. If you use the whole chili seeds, the dipping dish will be more spicy.

  2. Crush the avocado. Use a potato mash or a fork to lightly mash the avocado. There may still be small pieces of butter.
    • Do not grind butter.

    • Use the flat back of the plate to crush the butter.

  3. Mix the rest of the ingredients. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well with a large spoon until everything is evenly combined.
    • It's easier to mix well if you add small seasonings like garlic, coriander, lemon juice and salt first so everything blends well with the mashed butter before adding the larger ingredients. However, the order in which the ingredients are added to the butter is not very important.
  4. Serve with a tortilla. The avocado dipping sauce should be served immediately. The tortilla is often a favorite side dish.
    • To preserve the avocado dipping sauce, place a piece of food wrap directly on top of the butter. Wrap one more layer of wrap to seal the top of the bowl. Avocado sauce can be refrigerated from a few days to a week.

Method 4 of 4: Avocado Soup

  1. Remove the avocado from the peel. Use one of the methods in this article to remove the seeds and skin of the avocado.
    • With avocado soup, it is more convenient to scoop the avocado out of the skin than to cut it into cubes or slices first.
  2. Add butter, cream, chicken broth, salt and lemon juice in the blender. Put all the ingredients in a regular blender or large food processor and blend until smooth.
    • Blend at average speed for 1-2 minutes. Stir and continue grinding if necessary.
    • If you want a more frugal meal, you can use coconut milk or soft tofu instead of whipped cream and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  3. Add salt or lemon juice if desired. Taste the avocado soup. For a more intense flavor, you can add salt or lemon juice.
    • Add ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) of salt each time.
    • Add 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 ml) of lemon juice each time.
  4. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. Scoop the soup into a bowl or plate with a lid. Cover the bowl and keep in the refrigerator until the soup is cold.
    • Use a glass or plastic bowl instead of a metal one.

    • If the bowl doesn't have a lid, cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

  5. Decorate the soup bowl with chopped onion before serving. Scoop the soup into coffee mugs, custard plates or other small bowls and sprinkle some chopped onions. Serve cold.
    • You can also add in a teaspoon of fraiche ice cream, sour cream or mashed butter.

Advice

  • Hass avocados are one of the fattest varieties of butter, perfect for spreads, dipping butter, and anything in a recipe with mashed butter. Other avocado varieties are firmer and more delicious when eaten whole or whole.
  • To choose a delicious avocado, look for a slightly soft fruit when you press lightly on the peel. The delicious avocado when handled will feel quite heavy in hand and no bruise on the peel.
