Marrowfat Pea Guacamole

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Marrowfat Pea Guacamole
Marrowfat Peas Peas Quick & Easy Whole Peas

by Victoria Cowan August 08, 2024

For anyone looking for more local alternatives to much loved imported ingredients, Victoria Cowan's pulse-based guacamole replaces avocados with British-grown marrowfat peas. It's super delicious, nutritious and good for the planet.

Peas are high in protein and contain all 9 essential amino acids, have a low glycemic index and high soluble fibre content, are full of heart-friendly minerals (magnesium, potassium and calcium) and rich in antioxidant nutrients like vitamin C.

Not only that, they’re a very important crop for agriculture too. Like other legumes they fix nitrogen, solubilise phosphates, promote soil carbon sequestration, increase soil organic matter, improve soil structure and maintain soil biodiversity.

Victoria has served her guac on a soda bread made from camelina seeds and Vanessa Kimbell’s wholemeal diversity blend flour, along with spring onion and radish for freshness and texture.

Ingredients

  • 100g Marrowfat Peas, soaked overnight
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Handful of Mint
  • ½ Red Chilli, diced
  • Hemp or Olive Oil, to taste
  • Apple Cider Vinegar or Lime Juice, to taste
  • Salt, to taste

Method

  1. Cook marrowfat peas in salted water with the garlic cloves.
  2. Once the marrowfat peas are cooked, drain and crush them whilst hot, along with the garlic, into a chunky texture.
  3. Add the chilli and season with salt, vinegar and oil. For a looser guac add more oil.
