Avocados are best eaten raw in salads and dips as they turn bitter if
they are cooked. The only place I have seen Avocados as part of a cooked
dish was in Mexico where they are sliced and added to chicken soup
before serving, but even then, he Avocados themselves were not cooked.
Guacamole is very popular in Mexican and Southwestern cuisines. This
tasty version takes only 3 minutes to make! (Taken from page 137 of the
2nd edition of the World's Healthiest Foods book.)
