Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 7 oz (200 g) peas
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (60 g) whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- Olive oil, for frying
- 7 oz (200 g) Greek-style yogurt
- 1 tsp dill
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the peas in salted boiling water for 5 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Mash the peas with a fork until they are partially crushed, leaving some whole for texture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed peas, milk, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and egg. Mix well until you have a thick batter.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Spoon the batter into the skillet to form fritters, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- In a small bowl, mix the Greek-style yogurt with dill and a pinch of salt to make the dip.
- Serve the fritters warm with the yogurt dip on the side.
Notes
- These fritters are best served immediately while warm and crispy.
- You can substitute dill with mint or parsley for a different flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet.
- Pair with steamed rice or a salad for a complete meal.
