This is the recipe that caused an uproar on the Internet a few weeks ago, when The New York Times tweeted "Add peas to your guacamole. Trust us." People were outraged by the idea of messing with such a classic recipe, and twitter blew up with funny replies. Even President Obama weighed in.

| | I was skeptical too, but also intrigued. The recipe comes from ABC Cocina's chef-owner, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and his chef de cuisine, Ian Coogan. Vongerichten is the guy who created the Molten Chocolate Cake, so I thought how bad could it be? Ultimately, I made the "pea guac" and thought it was delicious -- and so did everyone else who tasted it. You really can't taste the peas, but they add a little sweetness and chunkiness to the dip; they also intensify the green color of the guacamole. I know purists might say that just because it tastes good doesn't mean you should make it, but I thought it was a great recipe worth sharing. What do you think? Give peas a chance? ;)
