Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen sweet peas
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons diced red onion
- 0.25 cup diced tomato (optional)
- 1 batch tortilla chips or crudités for serving
Instructions
If using frozen sweet peas, thaw them by placing them in a bowl of room temperature water for 10 minutes, then drain well.
Add the sweet peas to a food processor and pulse until they form a smooth paste.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency. For a chunkier guacamole, leave some avocado pieces intact.
Add the sweet pea puree to the mashed avocado and mix until well combined.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixture along with the lime juice, chopped jalapeño, minced garlic, sea salt, and ground cumin.
Stir in the extra-virgin olive oil to enhance the creaminess of the guacamole.
Fold in the diced red onion and optional diced tomato for additional texture and flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice or salt, if needed.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap if not serving immediately to prevent browning.
Serve with tortilla chips or fresh crudités of your choice.
