Green Pea Guacamole image

From a package of frozen green peas. Use the best quality green peas you can find. I changed the ingredients around a little. For less heat, use a mild pepper such as Anaheim.

Time 21m

Yield 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces frozen tiny peas
1 jalapeno peppers (seeded for less heat) or 1 serrano pepper, chopped (seeded for less heat)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lime juice or 1 teaspoon lemon juice, approximately
1/8 teaspoon salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 garlic clove
1 roma tomato, diced very small
1/2 cup red onion, minced
2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream (optional, my addition. Non-fat plain yogurt or tofu sour cream can be substituted.)
cilantro leaf (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Cook the frozen peas according to package directions. Drain and pat dry well to remove excess moisture.
  • Add the jalapeno pepper, olive oil, lemon juice to a blender and puree well. Next add the cooked green peas, salt, ground cumin and garlic.
  • Continue blending, scraping down sides of blender and mixture is smooth.
  • Transfer to serving bowl and stir in tomatoes, onion (and sour cream if desired for a smoother consistency). Taste and adjust seasoning; garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs.
  • Yield is estimated.
