Pea & ricotta fritters

Ingredients

For 4 servings

• •250 g frozen peas
• •75 g self-raising flour
• •2 eggs
• •1 lemon zested
• •250 g ricotta
• •6 spring onions finely sliced
• •2 c. à soupe chopped dill
• •small handful parsley finely chopped
• •1 -2 tsp olive oil for cooking
• •poached egg, harissa yogurt, avocado (optional)

Method

1. 1.Cook the frozen peas for 3 mins or until tender then remove from the heat, drain and run under cold water for 30 seconds before leaving to cool.
2. 2.Beat the self-raising flour, eggs and lemon zest together in a large bowl until smooth then mix in the ricotta. Once smooth, fold in the peas, spring onions, dill and parsley. Set aside.
3. 3.Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-low heat then spoon in one eighth of the batter and quickly shape to a disc before continuing with the rest. You may need to do this in batches. Cook for 3-4 mins, until the bottom is golden and you can flip the fritter over. Fry for a further 2-3 mins until cooked through. Keep warm in a low oven or under a clean tea towel while you cook the remaining fritters. Serve the fritters with harissa yogurt, avocado and poached egg or your favourite sides.
