OT -- do you trade the stuff that makes guacamole dip ... those yummy avacodo's ... let me know ... they cost a fortune in the winter ... but are a steel of a deal in the summer :o) no, don't trade avocados and don't even use them... TOO MANY fat grams ....gggg but, at the risk of upsetting the Calif folks, here is a great little substitute .. two things are tantamount to this being a huge success when served to family/guests 1) don't tell 'em it isn't the real thing BUT if you fell compelled to brag about it being low fat DO NOT under penalty of severe thrashing with a cat 'o nine tails INFORM that the main ingredient is split peas 2) put from your own mind that you're using split peas instead of avacados ok, try this, but feel free to modify it as you see fit .... here is the recipe I used week before last for a Mexican dinner at the church and there were two more guacamole dishes on the table and mine was the first consumed ...... ggggg I've adjusted the ingredients for smaller amount ...this should provide servings for about 4 folks .... >> 2 cups of green split peas .... go by cooking directions on bag ...drain well and chill for a couple of hours >> 1 sm to med onion coarsely chopped >> 4oz can of green chilies >> 2 tbs of minced garlic (mine is store bought kept in ref in a jar type) >> 3 tbs lime juice (mine is store bought, concentrate stuff) >> 2 med tomatoes coarsely chopped >> 1/2 cup Picante (only use Pace Picante made in Paris Texas .. NO substitution allowed....ggg) >> 1/4 tsp garlic powder >> 1 tsp ground cumin >> five or sixteen dashes or splashes of Tabasco ..... just use your guess as to how hot you want it ...... >> 1/4 cup fat free mayo type product put all this mixture into a blender and puree .... check for taste ... add more hot, garlic, lime, picante, etc to taste but at this point DON'T judge texture or color .... just taste ... now, finely chop --- a small to med onion , 2 more tomatoes --- and some small amount (couple of sprigs) of clilantro or italian parsley stir that in and check for texture .... I like mine slightly chunky maybe cause that is a good description of my body build ...... gggggg AND (careful with this part) couple tsp of mayo stuff and a couple or three drops of green cake coloring .... use care to not get it on your hands ...... blend these two together and sparingly add a little to the entire concoction above so as to bring about a duplicate COLOR of real guacamole ...... I suspect that this recipe will become a staple in your family ----- IF you don't tell Rick that you made it using split peas ...... VVVBZGGGGGGG SpooAndBeanTradingChefNemer
