Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Frozen green peas
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 0.5 unit Jalapeño (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen green peas and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Immediately drain and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the cooked green peas, cilantro leaves, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño (if using), salt, and ground cumin to the blender or food processor.
Pulse the mixture a few times until it begins to combine. Scrape down the sides of the blender or processor as needed.
With the blender or processor running, drizzle in the olive oil and continue blending until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse less and mash any remaining chunks with a fork.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, as desired.
Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with a few additional cilantro leaves, and serve with tortilla chips, vegetables, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
