Pea and Broccoli Fritters

January 19, 2016 By Cristie 12 Comments

Pea and Broccoli Fritters - perfect for a light dinner or healthy lunch. Also great cold in lunch boxes.

H and I had these little pea and broccoli fritters for lunch.  They are quick to make and packed full of veggies.  They would also be lovely for a light dinner.

I served them with a yoghurt dipping sauce because I know it’s always a winning combination with the little guy.   Whatever works right!  

The mixture makes 8 good sized fritters but you could go with a mini sized version and freezes what you don’t use to add to lunch boxes or as a quick lunch on the go.

Pea and Broccoli Fritters

Ingredients

  • 200 grams frozen green peas (approx 1 cup)
  • 100 grams broccoli florets (about half a head of broccoli)
  • 2 eggs; lightly whisked
  • handful parsley; finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 35 grams (1/4 cup) quinoa flour (or whatever flour suits)
  • Coconut oil for frying
  • Greek yoghurt and lemon to serve

Instructions

  1. Allow peas to thaw on the bench a little. Add the broccoli to a food processor and pulse until you achieve a rice like consistency. Add the peas and pulse to break them up - just a little.
  2. Add to bowl with the eggs, parsley, turmeric, lemon zest and flour. Stir to combine.
  3. Heat oil over medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of the mixture to the pan. Flatten with the back of your spoon. Allow to cook a few minutes each side until just golden.
  4. Serve warm with a dollop of yoghurt and a lemon wedge

Recipe Notes

Makes 8 medium sized fritters. Make mini fritters and freeze what you don't use for another day.
If you don't have a food processor you can use a grater for the broccoli or alternative finely chop. Use a fork to break the peas a little.

    I have made pea fritters many times but have never thought to add broccoli. I will be trying this next time for sure!

    Love the pea and broccoli combination. I might end up eating all of these before my kids get to them.

      Thanks so much Revathi, yes such a great way to hide veggies. You can always blend the peas a little more and then they won’t be able to spot them! xx
