Preparation

Chef’s notes

The original recipe, as published in The New York Times, called for garnishing the guacamole with some of the peas and also sunflower seeds. I thought the peas looked weird, so I chose to just mix them all in. As for the sunflower seeds, that’s where I draw the line! For a more traditional guacamole recipe, check out my classic guacamole.
