Mock Guac(amole)
Vegetarian Times Issue: May 1, 1907 p.86
This recipe is a great option for those times you want to make guacamole but can only find hard, unripened avocados. The puréed peas absorb all the Tex-Mex flavors of the cilantro, lime juice and hot sauce, so most guests won’t even guess the main ingredient!
Directions
- Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add peas, and cook 15 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Purée in food processor, then press through medium-meshed sieve with back of ladle to separate skins from purée.
- Combine pea purée and remaining ingredients in medium bowl. Let stand 30 minutes to develop flavors. Serve with tortilla chips or Mexican dishes.
