Side for Fajitas

Pea-camole

Prep time: 10 minutes plus soaking, No Cooking

Serves 6 as a side dish

INGREDIENTS:

200g frozen peas

2 ripe avocados

2 limes – juice only

Small bunch of chopped coriander

METHOD:

1.      Boil the kettle.

2.      Tip peas into a mixing bowl and cover with about 2.5cm of boiling water, leave for 5 minutes to defrost them.

3.      Drain well and tip back into the bowl.

4.      Halve and stone your avocado. To do this, cut lengthways through to the large stone in the middle. Repeat this around the whole avocado, so that you can twist both sides around the stone – you will then be able to separate the two halves and remove the stone. Tip: to check if an avocado is ripe, pull back the small stem from the thinner end of the fruit – if underneath is green or yellow then it is ripe.

5.      Using a dessertspoon, spoon out the green flesh leaving the skin behind.

6.      Add peas and mash everything together.

7.      Wash the coriander and roughly chop, add to the mix and stir.

8.      Refrigerate until ready to serve.

TIPS:

✓  If you do not want to halve and stone your avocado, you can buy it prepped in some supermarkets in the frozen section. You will them just need to defrost.

✓  If you want it spicy, add some chilli flakes and garlic (crushed) for a kick.

✓  Do not make too early, as the mix will start to go brown, so to keep it fresh looking prep and serve straight away.
