These easy, gluten-free pea and mint fritters make a delicious vegetarian appetiser or main meal. There is no better herb to pair with peas than the wonderfully fresh flavour of mint; in addition to that combination, some salty feta adds a welcome creaminess to every bite.
Golden and crunchy, most people will love these fritters. The exterior has a delicate, golden crispness and the interior is soft and tender.
The fritters are very easy to make. Firstly, prepare a simple batter with flour, eggs and milk, into which you add the remaining ingredients. To provide textural contrast, mash some of the peas and leave some whole. If you have children who don’t like texture, just mash them all.
Wonderfully simple but deliciously satisfying, you can serve them for brunch, as an appetiser with a dipping sauce, as a side to meat or poultry, or with a salad for a light meal. Additionally, they are wonderful finger food to serve to young children.
In just over a half hour you can have these fritters on the table. If you are serving them with a dipping sauce, our homemade Sweet Chilli Sauce is a great accompaniment.
