Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 * Exported from MasterCook * Guacamole With Cottage Cheese Recipe By : Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites, page 26 Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Appetizers And Snacks Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 ripe avocado -- preferably Hass 2/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon chopped scallions 3/4 teaspoon minced fresh chile 2 garlic cloves -- pressed salt and ground black pepper -- to taste Makes 1 1/2 cups. Total time: 10 minutes Before you even taste this guacamole, you will be impressed by its lovely light green shade. We've never seen anything quite like it before, and the bonus is that it doesn't darken a bit as it sits the way most other guacamoles do. Collective member Ned Asta's seven-year-old son Tazio devoured most of this recipe in one sitting and asked if he could have it every time he went to Moosewood. Slice the avocado in half lengthwise and separate the halves by gently twisting. Remove the pit. With a tablespoon or soup spoon, scoop out the flesh of each half. In a food processor, combine the avocado, cottage cheese, lime juice, scallions, chile, and garlic and purée until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately or chill. The flavor of the guacamole will increase in intensity as it sits. MENU SUGGESTIONS: Serve it spread on rice cakes, as a dip with low-fat tortilla chips or crackers, or alongside a platter of colorful crudités. Guacamole with Cottage Cheese is also a delicious filling for pita sandwiches or served beside Black Bean Chilaquile or Southwestern Hominy Stew. (See separate recipes.)
