Green Pea Guacamole

Benefits: Avocado is such a popular food, and guacamole frequently served, so to replicate the taste
without the implications of oil and that avocado may cause anemia is quite special. This dish has cleverly been created by a volunteer in the program of Dr. Dean Ornish, cardiologist, Sausalito, California, and we are very grateful for this lovely recipe, with it’s many serving possibilities!

Ingredients
3 cups green peas, fresh or frozen
2 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup red onion, diced
2 teaspoons freshly minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
scant to 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; I use barely a scant amount!
up to 1/8 teaspoon cayenne; start with less!!!!
pinch Si Salt Sea Salt
Instructions
Steam the peas if fresh, without overcooking.
They should keep their bright green color.
If using frozen peas, just defrost them.
Puree the peas a long time in a food processor with lemon juice, onion, garlic, cumin and black pepper.
Must puree peas long enough to break down shells so you get that soft, avocado texture.
Add cayenne and salt to taste.
Note: this is best made in a food processor, Cuisinart; it stopped my blender, even tho its Breville!
Garnish with paprika for color! & Tofu Cream! OLE!

Benefits: This dish, while satisfying taste for enchiladas, with beans benefitting our kidneys, also omits the solanine found in tomato and all nightshades and associated with arthritis and other joint diseases.
