Guacamole without Avocado

It looks like Guacamole and it tastes as good as Guacamole too but it is made out of green Edamame beans. The ones you love to eat in a Japanese restaurant. Yes those ones. They make a great substitute for Avocado. This is a recipe you just may want to celebrate since avocados have become the ultimate in Hipster food and cost a fortune. Give this a try.

Disappointment is not always about the rising price of Avocados

There are times when you have to take stock of the situation and move forward swiftly. Brush past all the annoying bits and just go on, but there are also times when all the stuff just starts to accumulate and weighs you down. I feel like I’ve been walking in a storm. At first I got blown around, I tried to ignore it but I realized that it had started to pour and there were mudslides and pelting rain and there I was in the middle. I got stuck and I just couldn’t drag my wounded soul outta there. So, for months it’s been a battle.

I’ve had a hard time but you know what?. I am still here. Things are still hard, things are still sad, but I’m here. I have lots of things to be happy about, I just need to remind myself that there are people and animals in this world that really are in trouble and need help and care.  I am trying a new way to look at things. Each day I wake up and I know that I am lucky to be alive and well and that amongst other things, I have you dropping by.

Guacamole without Avocado made with Edamame Beans

I’m going to use this big packet of Edamame beans that have been lurking in my freezer since I went to Auburn in Sydney’s west with Celia. The large bag of beans came from Costco. No matter how I tried I couldn’t interest Skater in eating them.

This is a good recipe if you have an annoying person in your house that doesn’t like avocados or if they are just too expensive to buy. Guacamole without Avocados is made with green nutritious Edamame beans.   It will go with tacos & burritos or grilled chicken and steak.

Use frozen Edamame either with shells or in a bag already shelled. These are available at Asian food stores. You can make this with unblanched edamame but I prefer to soften them before pureeing. This recipe uses Australian cup measurements

    I’m severely allergic to avocado but I loved it before the reactions started. Thank you so much for this recipe. I missed Guacamole so much.

        That would be 180 C. Or 350F depending on where you are. It will appear on the recipe now

    I love people who don’t like avocado because that just means more for me 🙂 However this is very clever, and I’m going to make it with the edamame beans in my freezer.

    Hope July is far better for you – sending hugs xxx

    I left a comment the other day, but it disappeared. I don’t think Blogger and WordPress like each other at the moment.

    I love the idea of using edamame. Thanks for the tour.
