Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups green peas, fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup leek (white), chopped
  • 1 spring onion, chopped, approx. ⅓ cup
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • ½ lemon, freshly squeezed, approx. 1 Tbsp
  • ½ lemon zest
  • 40 g chickpea flour
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • If using fresh green peas: blanch them in boiling water for 1–2 minutes, then rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
    If using frozen green peas: let them thaw at room temperature for 30–45 minutes, or defrost in the microwave for 3–5 minutes.
  • Transfer the green peas to your blender (high speed or regular).
  • Chop ½ cup of leek and 1 spring onion into pieces, then grate 2 garlic cloves. Add them to the blender along with 40 g of chickpea flour, ½ lemon freshly squeezed, and ½ lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse first for 5 seconds (up to 10 seconds max), until you get a chunky texture (not smooth).
  • Shape into 6 fritters (or patties) and place on a plate. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a little olive oil, then gently add the fritters.
  • Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until firm enough to flip (should be crispy). Turn them carefully, flatten them gently, then cook for another 3–4 minutes on the other side.
  • Enjoy immediately, or store and enjoy cold later in the week.
