800g

Preparation

20 mins

Ingredients

300g green peas (frozen is OK if fresh are not available)
1 small onion, diced
1 small clove garlic
1 unripe banana, peeled, finely sliced
2 ripe avocados
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon salt

COOK’S TIP:

This can also be made in a food processor. Blitz the onion/garlic finely, but only pulse the remaining ingredients – you want to avoid blending it too smoothly.

This combo may sound odd, but the taste and texture are a match made in heaven – familiar, but noticeably different. It looks identical, so catches people off guard in the best way.
