Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp frozen green peas
- 1/4 small avocado
- lemon wedge
- 2 small mint leaves, very finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook peas according to preference. I typically cover with water in a microwave-safe dish and microwave for 1 minute. Drain and let cool completely.
- In a small bowl, mash the peas and avocado together with a fork.
- Add a squeeze of lemon and mint, if using, and mix to combine.
Notes
- For a puree instead of mash: Blend everything in a food processor instead of mashing with a fork. You may need to add a little water to get it smooth.
- Storage: Because the avocado will brown, this does not store well. It will not be unsafe to eat after storing in the refrigerator for a couple of days, but it will turn brown.
- To Serve Baby Led Weaning Style: Serve on a preloaded soft spoon, in a rimmed plate for scooping with hands, or spread on toast fingers or pancake strips.
- Flavor Variations: Try lime instead of lemon, or mix up the herbs with finely chopped basil, dill, parsley, or chives.
