3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh coriander
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16-ounce) package Cascadian Farm Organic frozen Garden Peas, cooked without salt and drained
2 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 small red onion, finely diced
Optional: Honey or jalapeño jelly, to taste
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the oil, lime juice, coriander leaves, peppers, spices, and black pepper; process until smooth.
Add the peas. Pulse a few times to chop the peas and combine with the other ingredients.
Use a spatula to scrape the mixture into a serving bowl. Stir in the tomatoes and onion. Check seasoning and adjust if necessary, adding some honey or jalapeño jelly if a touch of sweetness is necessary to mellow the hotness of the peppers.
Hidden Sodium
Frozen peas are sorted by size in saltwater baths. As a result, they'll already have a higher sodium content than fresh ones. If you use frozen peas, make sure you use a “no additional salt added” variety. Using the “worst-case scenario” formula, the nutritional analysis for the Sweet Pea Guacamole recipe was calculated using the named brand frozen peas that have 95 milligrams of sodium per ⅔ cup serving; other brands may vary.
