Calculating Average Among groups

This seems like a pretty straight-forward operation, but I'm fairly new to working with data, so I don't know how to proceed. I have a table showing amino acid content for three recipes of the same product-type from a food brand. I want to create a table that returns the average of each amino acid group for two recipes in each column.

 

So for example, I want one column that shows the average Isoleucine, Tyrosine, and Lysine for recipes A and B in one column, recipes A and C in another, and recipes B and C in the third. I'm sure this problem has been solved before, but I couldn't find it. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction!

 

Here's what I'm starting with (values have been simplified for this example):

 

Amino AcidRecipeValue
IsoleucineA1
Phenylalanine-TyrosineA1
LysineA1
IsoleucineB2
Phenylalanine-TyrosineB2
LysineB2
IsoleucineC3
Phenylalanine-TyrosineC3
LysineC3

 

And here's the result I want:

 

Amino AcidAB AverageAC AverageBC Average
Isoleucine1.5

2

2.5
Phenylalanine-Tyrosine1.522.5
Lysine1.5

2

2.5

 

Thanks!

@AndyB87 , Will this kind of measure work for you

AB Average	=calculate(average(Table[Value]),table[Recipe] in {"A","B"})
AC Average	=calculate(average(Table[Value]),table[Recipe] in {"A","C"})
BC Average=calculate(average(Table[Value]),table[Recipe] in {"C","B"})
