Background

I had a friend round for an impromptu drink, so I wanted to create some quick and easy fritters that were gluten-free too. I found some peas in the freezer and some halloumi in the fridge, so I came up with this super-easy recipe! The resulting pea and halloumi fritters were really yummy, delicate and rather filling actually!

Ingredients

150g peas
1 egg
1 handful of basil/mint leaves
100g halloumi, coarsely grated
1 garlic clove, minced
3 Tbsp buckwheat/rice flour
1Tbsp milk (approx.)

Instructions

Defrost the peas by pouring hot water over them, then drain.
Put the peas, egg, garlic, herbs into a blender and whiz until smooth.
Add the flour and a dash of milk to get a thick but spreadable batter.
Heat some oil in a frying pan, then add dollops of the batter, letting them spread into circular shapes.
Cook for a couple of minutes, then flip them and cook until golden on each side.
Make another batch using up the batter.
