Princesses belong in fairytales, not in the grocery store or at your favorite restaurant or in Congress. Let’s keep the royalty where it belongs, in this dish. This recipe is made from leftover peas, basmati rice, and seasonings (salt, pepper, horseradish, honey). So take out your food processor or your blender and have at it!
While it looks like guacamole, this pea dip tastes a lot weirder and is packed with protein and very little fat
Ingredients:
1 cup of peas (amount varies - keep 1:1 ratio in mind)
1 cup of cooked basmati rice
Add some yummy things. I put some apricots and dried cherries in the rice and topped it with some roasted/salted pistachios
Water or oil or some kind of almond milk to make it creamier
Seasonings - (salt, pepper, 1 Tablespoon horseradish)
Honey (to taste)
Instructions:
Warm up the peas and rice in a skillet with water so everything is soft and mushy and the flavors re-emerge. Add some salt and pepper to taste.
When the combo is still moist, but not soaking in water, take half and throw it into the blender with horseradish and honey to make the pea dip.
Add the yummy things to the rest of the rice
Use water or oil as needed.
Optional: I like to add nut butters to leftover rice or quinoa and add some other flavors like sesame oil and soy sauce.
