Equipment
- Food processor or blender
- Non-stick frying pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen green peas thawed, drained (*see notes)
- ½ cup chickpea flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 yellow onion chopped (~¾ cup)
- 2 garlic cloves chopped or minced
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients and pulse until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.2 cups frozen green peas, ½ cup chickpea flour, 1 yellow onion, 2 garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt
- Scoop about ⅓ cup of the mixture and shape into 2.5–3-inch patties. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, then fry patties for 2 to 2.5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels before serving.2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Notes
- *Soak frozen peas in hot water for 1 minute, then drain before using.
- Store the fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep them crispy before serving.
- If the mix feels too wet, add a bit more flour to help it hold.
- Preheat the oil so your fritters get crispy, not greasy.
- No blender? Mash peas, mince garlic, and finely chop onion, hand-mixed works great too.
- Avocado or sunflower oil are great swap for olive oil.
