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.
