AVOCADO AND PEA SMASH

AVOCADO AND PEA SMASH 


Recipe: Serves 2
Takes 10 minutes
MAKE WITH
1/2 c peas (frozen and defrosted, or fresh)
1 avocado (cubed)
Juice of 1/2 lemon OR 1 lime
1/4 c spring onion (finely sliced)
1/4 c parsley OR coriander (finely chopped)
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1/2 tsp olive oil
1/3 tsp sea salt
To serve
4 slices of wholegrain toast OR crackers
Furikake OR sesame seeds and chilli flakes
Salad 


HOW TO :

1. Pour the frozen peas in a bowl and cover with hot water to defrost quickly, or leave out on the bench for half an hour to defrost. Drain off any water.
2. Add lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and salt, and mash the peas with a fork until most are crushed fairly well. Add cubed avocado and mash together until blended but with some chunks still remaining. Add herbs and mix through.
3. Serve on toasted whole grain bread, your favourite whole grain crackers, or in a bowl with some crackers or corn chips.
