Split Pea Guacamole Recipe

Directions Wear disposable gloves or plastic bags over your hands to remove the seeds and finely mince the serrano chili pepper.

Soak the minced chili peppers in the vinegar.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the water and split peas to a boil.

Reduce the heat.

Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

Add the chili-vinegar mixture.

Cover and simmer about 10 minutes more or until the liquid is absorbed.

Transfer the split pea mixture to a food processor or blender.

Add the lemon juice and puree until creamy.

Transfer the pea mixture to a large bowl and stir in the green onions or chives, cilantro, salt and black pepper.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the avocados to form a thick paste.

Stir in the green chili peppers.

Fold in the split pea mixture.
