Sweet Pea Guacamole

• 14 oz. frozen peas
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 oz. red onion
• 2 med jalapeno pepper
• 1/2 c. cilantro, lightly packed
• 1.5 tbsp. lime juice
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/3 c. plain, low-fat yogurt

Cook peas according to package directions.  Drain and pat dry.  Peel garlic and cut onion into 1" pieces.  Core and seed pepper.

Use metal blade to process all ingredients except yogurt until finely chopped, about 10 seconds, stopping once to scrape work bowl.  Add yogurt and process until smooth, about 30 seconds.

Chill thoroughly and adjust seasoning before serving.  Can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.

Serve with tortilla chips or cucumber slices.

VERDICT: This doesn't really taste like guacamole but it's quite good in its own way--sweeter and fresher.  Plus, it hasn't turned brown yet, which is a plus.  It'd be nice to take to a potluck, I think.  Keep.
