GREEN PEA GUACAMOLE



Green Pea Guacamole image

Adding fresh English peas to what is an otherwise fairly traditional guacamole is one of those radical moves that is also completely obvious after you taste it. The peas add intense sweetness and a chunky texture to the dip, making it more substantial on the chip. They also intensify the color of the green avocado - and help the guacamole stay that way. Pea guacamole keeps its bright hue in the fridge for a few days without turning brown around the edges. A good dose of lime juice helps this cause. This dish, a collaboration between ABC Cocina's chef-owner, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and his chef de cuisine, Ian Coogan, is the best kind of greenmarket tweak upon a classic.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound fresh sweet peas, shucked (about 1/2 to 2/3 cup peas)
2 small jalapeños
2 tablespoons packed cilantro leaves, chopped, more for garnish
3/4 teaspoon salt, more as needed
3 small ripe avocados, mashed
2 scallions, whites only, sliced as thin as possible (about 1/4 cup)
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1 lime, more as needed
1 tablespoon toasted sunflower seeds
Flaky sea salt, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

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.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Peas: Select fresh or frozen green peas for the best flavor and texture. Avoid canned peas, as they tend to be softer and less flavorful.
  • Seasoning and Flavorings: Experiment with different seasonings and flavorings to create your desired taste profile. Try adding garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, cumin, or lime juice to enhance the flavor.

  • Serving Suggestions: Serve your mock guacamole with tortilla chips, vegetable crudités, or as a dip for grilled chicken or fish. It can also be used as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
  • Storage: Store leftover mock guacamole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months. To thaw, simply place it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.
