Recipie: Sweet pea guacamole

This is really cool recipe that is a healthier alternative to avocado guacamole.  Alter the ingredients to your liking, I do want to mention that the Serrano Chile is a bit hotter than a jalapeno.  Enjoy!!

Ingredients:
1 bag frozen sweet peas, thawed
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
1 Serrano Chile, finely minced
1 small red onion, finely diced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
Juice of one lime
Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:
In a blender or food processor blend the thawed peas into a smooth puree.  In a mixing bowl combine peas with remaining ingredients, except salt and pepper.  Once all ingredients are combined, taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.  This guac will not be as thick as traditional avocado guacamole.  Depending on your puree it may serve better as a dip for veggies, pita chips, or crackers.  If the puree is not smoothing out for you, add a olive oil to the mixture bit by bit.  Remember you always add, but you can't get it back out. 

Bon Appetit,

Ben
