More veggies and less batter is always better when making these.
My daughter Kiki loves them, especially when dipped in mint yoghurt – but you can leave that out to make them even easier to prepare. Green pea fritters are a great summer lunch that can be eaten hot or cold.

TIPS
These can be made the night before and will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.

To make these orange instead of green, just swap out the peas for carrots, but you’ll need to blanch the carrots first to soften them up. Pick your fave vegetable and the sky’s the limit. Zucchini fritters are great too, or you can blend and mix different types of veggies for a superfood fritter.

Gluten free
You can replace the self-raising flour with gluten-free self-raising flour in this recipe.

Dairy free
To make these dairy-free, replace the yoghurt dip with sweet chilli sauce or coconut yoghurt with 1/2 teaspoon of salt added.

Directions

How do we make these bad boys green?

Place half the peas in a food processor with the eggs, salt and flour and blitz it all up till it’s Incredible Hulk green (it should look like a green thickshake). Add in the rest of the peas and stir until all the peas are thoroughly mixed through.

Prepare a large plate or tray lined with baking paper to place the fritters as you make them.

Scoop the mixture out with a tablespoon, then use your hands to shape individual patties – you can make them whatever size you like.

Before you start frying, line a large plate with paper towel.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches for around 2 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown. Once cooked, place the patties on the paper towel to remove any excess cooking oil.

To make the very complicated yoghurt dip, just mix the mint leaves and yoghurt together.

Pop the yoghurt dip in a spillproof tub for dipping.
