Green Pea And Ricotta Fritters Recipes

EASY GREEN PEA FRITTERS: A FRITTER FRAMEWORK

Steps:

• Blend half of the peas with the sliced clove of garlic, the salt, and the eggs.
• Add the flour and baking powder, along with the lemon zest and mint (or whichever flavourings you use), and a crack of pepper if desired, and stir to combine.
• Fold in the remaining half of the peas.
• Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the fritters in batches. You can make them whatever size you want. I tend to use a heaped soup spoon, which yields about 8-10 fritters.
