Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen sweet peas
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Cook the frozen sweet peas: Place the peas in a small pot of boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Drain the peas and rinse them under cold water to stop cooking. Allow them to cool completely.
2. Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a food processor or blender.
3. Blend the ingredients: Add the cooled sweet peas, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and olive oil to the food processor with the avocado.
4. Process the mixture: Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice or salt to taste.
5. Serve: Transfer the mockamole to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, fresh cilantro leaves, or a few chopped jalapeño slices if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or as a spread on toast.
