Ingredients
  

  • 8 small potatoes washed, halved
  • 2 medium courgettes washed, spiralised into ribbons
  • 4 Spring onions washed, finely sliced

Pesto

  • 100 g fresh spinach washed
  • 2/3 cup hazelnuts
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1 large lime - juice and zest
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled

Instructions
 

Pesto

  • Begin by adding all of the guacamole ingredients to a food processor and blitz until smooth. Add a dash of water if too thick. Leave to one side or in the fridge while you cook the potatoes and prepare the courgette.
    Retain a few peas to add to the dish when serving if desired.

Potatoes, Courgette and Spring onions

  • Place the halved potatoes into a small pan, covered with water. Bring to the boil and then allow to simmer for 8-10 mins until they soften.
  • While the potatoes are simmering, cut the courgette into ribbons using a spiraliser. If you do not have a spiraliser, your can use a potato peeler instead for a similar effect.
  • Finely slice the spring onions.
  • Once the potatoes have cooked. Drain, then run under cold water to cool.
  • Add the cooled potatoes, courgette ribbons and spring onions to a large bowl, spoon on the guacamole and then gently combine all of the ingredients together until evenly covered in the sauce.
  • Tip the mixture into serving bowls and sprinkle with the chopped spring onions, extra peas (if your reserved any), season with sea salt and ground black pepper and serve.
