Pea Guacamole

This guacamole uses peas instead of avocados for a slightly different twist on an old favorite but with a little less fat content
Author: Beverly

Equipment:

  • Food Processor

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • handful fresh cilantro
  • juice from 1 lime (about 1½ tbl)
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ cup diced fresh tomato
  • ¼ cup finely diced onion
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  • Thaw the peas slightly by letting them sit in some warm water for a few minutes (they will soften a bit but will still be cold). Then drain the water off the peas and place the peas in a food processor.
  • Add the cilantro, lime juice, and minced garlic to the food processor and then process to mix things together well (you may want to stop once during the process to scrape down the sides).
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and then stir in the diced onion and diced tomato. 
  • Finally stir in the salt and the red pepper flakes.
  • Let the mixture set for 10 or 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
  • Serve with the munchies of your choice and refrigerate any leftovers.
