How to Make Guacamole with Peas

1. Prepare Peas

If using fresh peas, blanch them by boiling for about a minute and then transferring to a bowl of ice water. If using frozen peas, thaw them.

2. Char Jalapeños

Char one jalapeño under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes until blackened, then let it steam covered for 15 minutes.

3. Toast Sunflower Seeds

Toast sunflower seeds in a skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes until fragrant, then set aside to cool.

4. Blend Pea Puree

In a blender or food processor, blend peas, roasted and raw jalapeños, cilantro, and ¼ teaspoon of salt into a chunky puree.

5. Combine with Avocado

In a medium bowl, combine avocados, scallions, lime zest and juice, and ½ teaspoon of salt with the pea puree. Gently mash and mix.

6. Garnish and Serve

Transfer the guacamole to a serving dish, garnish with peas, sunflower seeds, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Serve with lime wedges.
