Background
These minty pea fritters are perfect for parties, picnics or just as little nibbles with a glass of wine. It only takes a few minutes to make them - and they are utterly delicious. Serve them with dips, or topped with salami, spreads or prosciutto & sundried tomatoes (this combo is absolutely divine!). This recipe is gluten-free, using gram flour, but you can also use other gluten-free flours or even wheat flour if your diet allows!
Ingredients
- 250g frozen peas
- 1 large egg
- 50g gram flour
- 1 Tbsp fresh mint leaves
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2 spring onions, white part only
- 1 Tbsp parmesan
- 3 Tbsp crème fraîche or Greek yogurt
- zest of ½ lemon
- 1 tsp of olive oil plus for frying
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Put the peas in a large bowl and pour boiling water over them. Leave for 3-5 minutes, then drain.
- Put all ingredients in a blender, season to taste, then process for a few second until you get a coarse paste - it should be like a spread but if it's too thick, add more yoghurt.
- Heat a heavy based frying pan or pancake pan and add a drop of oil. Spread it around using a paper kitchen-towel. When hot, drop in a tablespoonful of the mixture, then gently spread around with the back of the spoon to form a round shape. Repeat this - you can probably cook 5-6 fritters at a time.
- After a couple of minutes, flip the fritters over with a spatula and cook for another minute or so, until golden.
- Transfer them to a plate and cook more fritters in batches using up all the batter.
