Green Pea Guacamole
- 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)
- 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.
