Low-Fat Guacamole

1/4 cup onion, chopped 50 ml
1 teaspoon garlic, minced 5 ml
2 teaspoons chili powder 10 ml
2 teaspoons cumin 10 ml
2 cups frozen peas 350 g
1/3 cup water 75 ml
4 teaspoons lemon juice 20 ml
1/4 cup avocado, chopped 50 ml
1/4 cup tomato, diced 50 ml
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper 2 ml

Cook first 4 ingredients in a nonstick pan over medium heat until onion is soft. Add the peas and water. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Puree in blender until smooth. (A blender works better than a food processor for this recipe.) Let cool and add remaining ingredients. Serve as a side salad, with tortillas or with nacho chips.

Makes 5 (1/2 cup) servings.
