green pea
fritters
{ Ingredients }
300g (10½ oz) green peas (if using frozen, make sure to defrost first)
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
2 organic/free range eggs
zest of 1 lemon
150g (5¼ oz) good quality ricotta
1 ½ tablespoons coconut flour (see notes)
Pinch of sea salt and pepper
Smash the green peas roughly either by hand or
by using a blender or food processor. Make sure to
keep it chunky as this is not a puree.
Combine the smashed peas into a bowl with
parsley, egg, lemon zest and coconut flour. The
coconut flour will thicken the mix and allow it to
hold its shape when cooking. Season with salt and
pepper and taste to check.
Add the ricotta last, smashing it through the pea
fritter batter – make sure to leave nice chunky bits
of ricotta through the mix.
Heat a pan over a low heat with a little olive oil.
Cook spoonfuls of pea fritter mixture - as much as
you would pikelets or small pancakes. You should
get about six green pea fritters.
{ REMEMBER } It’s important to cook them over
a low, gentle heat on each side until golden and
cooked through. Serve with a squeeze of lemon
and enjoy. You can also accompany with leafy
greens or steamed vegetables and drizzle with
cold pressed olive oil and lemon.

{ NOTES } Coconut flour is available from most
health food stores. It can also be replaced with
other gluten-free flours such as almond meal or
brown rice flour. Quantities of almond meal or
rice flour will need to be doubled – just enough so
that the fritter will hold its shape when cooked.
For dairy-free fritters – omit the ricotta all
together.
