INGREDIENTS
1 cup frozen peas
2 large handfuls spinach leaves, washed
1 avocado
finely grated zest and juice 1 large lime
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 spring onion, finely chopped

½ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ - ½ teaspoon harissa

Pantry note: Harissa [har-ritha] is a fiery hot sauce from North Africa, made from chilli, garlic, cumin, coriander and caraway, but any good quality chilli paste can be used.
