Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Blanch the Peas: If using fresh peas, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for about 2-3 minutes until tender. If using frozen peas, thaw them in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Mash the Peas: Place the drained peas in a large mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash them until they are partially broken down but still chunky.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped dill, eggs, milk, self-raising flour, and crumbled feta cheese to the mashed peas. Mix until well combined to form a batter.
4. Heat the Pan: Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
5. Cook the Fritters: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the frying pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
1. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced avocado, chopped spinach, lemon zest (or juice), and halved cherry tomatoes.
2. Toss the Salad: Gently toss the ingredients together until well mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Arrange the pea and dill fritters on serving plates.
- Add a generous portion of the avocado salad on the side.
- Serve immediately while the fritters are warm.
Tips:
- For a smoother batter, you can lightly mash the peas before adding them to the mixture. This will help the fritters hold together better.
- Make sure the pan and oil are hot before adding the batter. This ensures the fritters cook evenly and develop a nice crispy exterior.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, substitute some of the feta with ricotta cheese.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, prepare the salad just before serving and toss the avocado with a little lemon juice.
- Feel free to add more herbs like mint or parsley to the fritter batter for an extra burst of flavor.
- For an extra kick, you can sprinkle some chili flakes or add a splash of hot sauce to the fritter batter.
