Sweet Pea Salsa
Ingredients
Instructions
- Begin by thawing the peas.
- You can zap them for a few minutes in the microwave, or just place them in a strainer and run warm water over them.
- Set them aside and let all the moisture drain off.
- While the peas are draining, remove the leaves from approximately 10 large sprigs of cilantro and place the leaves in a food processor or blender.
- Next, split one jalapeno pepper (or two Serrano peppers).
- Lop the stem off and scrape the seeds out with a spoon.
- Add the de-seeded peppers, along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of one lime, to the food processor.
- Pulse the mixture, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed, until the mixture is lightly pureed.
- Add the thawed peas, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt.
- Pulse again until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
- Finely dice a quarter of a red onion and stir the onion into the mixture.
- Serve with salty tortilla chips, or with any recipe calling for guacamole as a garnish.
