Avocado With Alfalfa Recipes

AVOCADO-AND-SPROUT CLUB SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Slice vegetables into thin rounds or matchsticks, as desired; tear lettuce and slice avocados. Dividing evenly, layer vegetables on 8 toast slices. Top with sprouts. Spread goat cheese on remaining 4 toast slices; then drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Stack sandwiches so that each has two layers of vegetables and one of cheese (cheese side down). Cut in half and serve.

AVOCADO WITH ALFALFA

Steps:

• Halve and remove stones from 2 avocados.
• Grate the carrots, combine with the alfalfa and toss with the extra virgin olive oil, then spoon this mixture into and onto each avocado half, then top with fresh sprigs of coriander and peanuts or cashews.
• Serve.
• Notes: If an avocado has a 'neck' rather than being rounded at the top, it was probably tree-ripened and will have better flavour. To ripen a firm avocado, place it in a paper bag at room temperature for a couple of days. Don't refrigerate avocados until they are ripe. To prevent the flesh from turning brown, sprinkle with lemon juice. In Australia, there are now varieties of avocado which don't brown after being cut, but I do wonder (I don't know) if they have been genetically modified.

AVOCADO, CREAM CHEESE, AND ALFALFA SPROUT SANDWICH

Steps:

• Spread both slices of bread with cream cheese or cover with cream cheese slices.
• Slice the avocado in the half shell, lengthwise, and sprinkle with lemon juice.
• Fan the avocado slices onto one slice of bread, and sprinkle with salt, lemon pepper, and (optional) black olive slices.
• Top with alfalfa sprouts, press down slightly, sprinkle with cayenne, and (optional) onion slice.
• Top with remaining bread slice and press down slightly, then wrap tightly and keep chilled.

AVOCADO-ALFALFA TURKEY BURGER

Coat a grill pan or grill rack with cooking spray. Grill patties over medium-high heat until internal temperature reaches 165°F, 20 minutes. Top each with 1 cheese slice. Divide ketchup mixture, burgers, tomatoes, avocado mixture and alfalfa sprouts among buns.
