Pea and Mint Fritters Recipe

Paula says: “I love the flavour combination of peas and fresh mint; they work so well together. Like sweetcorn fritters, these are a great lunchtime meal or lunch box addition.”

Ingredients

• 150g frozen peas
• 125g self-raising flour
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 10g fresh mint, chopped
• 1 lime, zested and juiced
• 200g soya yoghurt
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. Cover the frozen peas with water in a small bowl, then microwave for 2 minutes until soft.

2. Combine the flour, flaxseed, mint, and lime zest in a large mixing bowl.

3. Add the drained peas, lime juice and soya yogurt to the bowl, then mix until a thick batter forms.

4. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, then add spoonfuls of the batter and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
