Sweet Pea Guacamole Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and prepare a bowl with water and ice. Plunge peas into the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 1 minute. Drain peas and immediately transfer to the ice bath. Drain.
• Heat broiler to high and broil one of the jalapeños on a heatproof pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until jalapeño is completely charred. Transfer to a small bowl, cover tightly in plastic wrap and let sit for 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, use a towel to wipe off the charred skin. Halve, seed and devein the roasted jalapeño. Then halve, seed, and mince the remaining raw jalapeño.
• In a blender or the bowl of a food processor, purée peas (reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish) with roasted jalapeño, minced raw jalapeño, cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Process until almost smooth but still a little chunky.
• In a medium bowl, combine mashed avocado, scallions, lime zest, lime juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pea purée. Adjust salt and lime juice as needed and garnish with fresh peas, sunflower seeds and flaky sea salt. Serve with tortilla chips and lime wedges.

Steps:

• *Note: I fire roasted two fresh green jalapenos on a stove top grill on medium-high heat. Placed them in a paper bag to "sweat" for about 15-20 minutes then removed the skin, seeds and membrane and chopped. Takes longer to do (than opening a can of fire roasted chilies), but the taste was good and fresh. Removing the seeds and membrane is optional if you want the guacamole spicier.
• In a food processor, combine the peas, avocado, onion, chilies, lime juice, garlic, cumin and salt.
• Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
• Add the cilantro and pulse until just blended.
• Adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro and a few whole green peas.
• Yield is estimated.
