Servings 2
Calories 337kcal

Ingredients

  • 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
  • Salad

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Serve on toasted whole grain bread, your favourite whole grain crackers, or in a bowl with some crackers or corn chips.

Notes

  • This smash is best served fresh, or within 30 minutes of making, hence this recipe only being for two. Obviously you can double if you're a family/flat of four.
  • If you do want to make it for lunches and thus save half for the next day, put in a small container with limited space on top, seal and place in the fridge. The flavour will still be delicious, the green colour just won't be quite as bright.
  • If you don't have furikake, you can use a sprinkling of sesame seeds and chilli flakes instead.
  • If you want to try the lime and coriander option, simply swap the lemon with one lime, and the parsley with fresh coriander.
