Guacamole with Peas
140kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped red onion
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
Method
- Place the thawed green peas in a food processor and pulse until mostly smooth with a few small chunks for texture.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed avocados with the processed peas and mix until well blended but still a little chunky.
- Stir in the minced garlic, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, and salt.
- Add the chopped jalapeño if using, and adjust salt and lime juice to taste.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
- Chill for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Before serving, give the guacamole a quick stir and garnish with extra cilantro or red onion if desired.
