Guacamole
Servings: 25
Prep and cook: 15 min
Ingredients
1 c frozen peas, thawed
1-2 T olive oil
1 tomato, diced
2 T onion, minced
¼ c fresh cilantro, minced
3 small ripe avocados
1-2 T lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Directions: Place peas and olive oil in blender and puree until smooth. Scoop into a bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well using a fork to mash up the avocado. Taste and adjust lemon juice, salt and pepper. Scoop into the serving bowl. Place a pieces of plastic wrap over the top, pressing it down against the guacamole and removing all air pockets. Place in fridge until time to serve. Best to make at least 1 hour in advance to allow the flavors to blend.
Notes: The magic ingredient in this recipe is the peas. The peas and lemon juice help keep the green color for a long time. The peas also add a touch of sweet flavor, but no one will guess that there are peas in the guacamole. I made this last night for a party and it was a huge hit. I caught someone using a spoon to get the very last tidbit out.
