Pea guacamole with tortilla chips

Method

1. To make the base for the pea guacamole, cut the tortillas into squares or circles (with a cutter) about 2½cm in diameter. Either deep fry until golden, or bake in the oven. To bake - toss them with the olive oil and lay out flat on a baking tray. Sprinkle with salt and roast for about 3 minutes in a hot oven, preheated to 220°C/gas 8. These can be made in advance and will crisp-up as they cool.

2. Bring a saucepan filed with a 4cm depth of salted water to the boil. Tip in the peas and cook for a minute or so, after the water comes back up to the boil.

3. Drain and refresh the peas under cold water for a few seconds and transfer to a food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until almost smooth. Taste for seasoning and transfer to a serving bowl. Chill until required.

4. Spoon about ½ teaspoonful of the dip onto the baked or deep-fried tortilla chips and top each piece with a tiny dollop of crème fraiche or Greek yogurt. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve.
