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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add the cooked green peas, cilantro leaves, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño (if using), salt, and ground cumin to the blender or food processor.

Step 4

Pulse the mixture a few times until it begins to combine. Scrape down the sides of the blender or processor as needed.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, as desired.

Step 7

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.
