Stay Awake

1 Place peas in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 1 minute, drain and refresh under cold water. Drain again.

2 Blitz peas, jalapeños, spring onions, coriander and mint in a food processor for 30 seconds until almost smooth, but with some texture.

3 For a smooth guacamole, add avocado to processor and blitz until combined. For a chunkier dip, roughly mash avocado in a bowl. Add puréed pea mixture and mix to combine. Add lime juice and pepper, to taste.

4 Serve in a bowl immediately, garnished with toasted pine nuts and mint leaves, or chill until ready to serve.
