Description


Scale

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup frozen English or sweet peas
  • 2 small jalapeños (one roasted or broiled, one raw, both seeded and finely diced)
  • 2 tablespoons packed cilantro leaves, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • 3 large ripe avocados, mashed
  • 2 scallions, whites and greens, sliced as thin as possible (about ¼ cup)
  • Zest of 2 limes
  • Juice of 2 limes (plus more as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds (for serving)
  • Flaky sea salt, for serving

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Heat broiler to high and broil one of the jalapeños on a heatproof pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until jalapeño is completely charred. When cool enough to handle, halve, seed and devein the roasted jalapeño. Then halve, seed, and mince the raw jalapeño.
  3. In a blender or the bowl of a food processor, purée peas with roasted jalapeño, minced raw jalapeño, cilantro and pinch of sea salt. Process until almost smooth but still a little chunky.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine mashed avocado, scallions, lime zest, lime juice,  and the pea purée. Adjust salt and lime juice as needed and garnish with cilantro, pumpkin or sunflower seeds and flaky sea salt.
