    - 300 grams (10 1/2 ounces, 2 cups plus 1 tablespoon) shelled green peas, frozen or fresh but not canned
    
    - 1 drop cilantro essential oil for cooking, or a small bunch fresh cilantro
    
    - 2 tablespoons whole almond butter (like peanut butter but made with unblanched almonds; look for it at natural foods stores)
    
    - 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
    
    - 1 dash Tabasco sauce
    
    - Salt, black pepper

    
    
    

    Makes enough for an appetizer for 4.

  • Steam the peas for 14 minutes, or until tender, and let cool to just above room temperature.

    
    
    

    If you're using fresh cilantro, pluck the leaves and set aside.

    
    
    

    In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine the peas, almond butter, cilantro (essential oil or fresh leaves), garlic if using, Tabasco sauce, a little salt and some pepper. Process until smooth. If the mixture is a bit too thick for the blade of the food processor to mix properly, add just a little bit of water, a teaspoon at a time, until soft enough to mix.

    
    
    

    Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spread on pieces of multigrain crispbread and serve. The peacamole can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge in an airtight container; it will keep for 2 to 3 days.
