This green pea guacamole is a lot more sustainable and cheaper than guacamole from avocados. In addition, it also contains almost five times as much protein and less fats. But most importantly: it's also just unbelievably delicious.
Defrost the frozen peas. When using fresh peas, boil them for 3 minutes and then rinse in cold water (blanching).
Put the peas in a blender together with the sunflower seeds, lime or lemon juice, garlic, cilantro, paprika powder and cumin and blend until creamy. This may take several minutes. A high-speed blender gives the best results, but it also works with a food processor or even with a good handheld mixer, although it might be slightly less creamy. Add a little tap water to get the right texture, one tablespoon at a time. If you started from fresh peas, you could also use the water that you boiled them in.
Cut the tomato into cubes and mince the shallot. Stir them through the pea guacamole and season to taste with salt and pepper. Would you like it a bit spicier? Then add some chili powder. Enjoy!
