Servings

This is our alternative to guacamole, and we love it! The bright green mash is perfect for tacos, but it can also be used as a sauce for anything else. We make this with mint, but feel free to try it with other herbs. One serving equals a side dish for four people.

Ingredients

4 dl frozen peas
½ l water
2 tbsp fresh mint
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pinch salt

Method

Pour frozen peas into boiling water. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Pour off the cooking water, but save some of it.
Add mint or other herbs to the peas, and blend it to a smooth mass with the hand blender.
Season the pea spread with some of the cooking water until it has a nice consistency.
Season with lemon juice, olive oil and a little salt.
