From a package of frozen green peas. Use the best quality green peas you can find. I changed the ingredients around a little. For less heat, use a mild pepper such as Anaheim.

This a great recipe with avocado, tomato and green peas. I think I got this recipe about 2003 from Heart Healthy Cooking. I tried it and it was very, very good. Now it is on our holiday buffet every year.

GREEN PEA GUACAMOLE
Adding fresh English peas to what is an otherwise fairly traditional guacamole is one of those radical moves that is also completely obvious after you taste it. The peas add intense sweetness and a chunky texture to the dip, making it more substantial on the chip. They also intensify the color of the green avocado - and help the guacamole stay that way. Pea guacamole keeps its bright hue in the fridge for a few days without turning brown around the edges. A good dose of lime juice helps this cause. This dish, a collaboration between ABC Cocina's chef-owner, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and his chef de cuisine, Ian Coogan, is the best kind of greenmarket tweak upon a classic.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and prepare a bowl with water and ice. Plunge peas into the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 1 minute. Drain peas and immediately transfer to the ice bath. Drain.
- Heat broiler to high and broil one of the jalapeños on a heatproof pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until jalapeño is completely charred. Transfer to a small bowl, cover tightly in plastic wrap and let sit for 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, use a towel to wipe off the charred skin. Halve, seed and devein the roasted jalapeño. Then halve, seed, and mince the remaining raw jalapeño.
- In a blender or the bowl of a food processor, purée peas (reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish) with roasted jalapeño, minced raw jalapeño, cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Process until almost smooth but still a little chunky.
- In a medium bowl, combine mashed avocado, scallions, lime zest, lime juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pea purée. Adjust salt and lime juice as needed and garnish with fresh peas, sunflower seeds and flaky sea salt. Serve with tortilla chips and lime wedges.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have brown spots.
- Use fresh peas: Fresh peas add a bright, sweet flavor to the guacamole. If you don't have fresh peas, you can use frozen peas, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy guacamole, add a chopped jalapeño or serrano pepper. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a more subtle heat.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil, add a pop of flavor to the guacamole. Chop the herbs finely before adding them to the guacamole.
- Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served immediately after making. However, if you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
