Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180C (350F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Boil frozen peas (250 g) in a medium saucepan with water according to package instructions, then drain thoroughly.
- 3
Heat olive oil (1 tbsp) in a frying pan and sauté white onion (1 large) and garlic cloves (3 clove) for a few minutes until they are softened.
- 4
Transfer the cooked peas, onions, and garlic to a food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes a thick, textured paste.
- 5
In a mixing bowl, stir the paste with chickpea flour (140 g), bicarbonate of soda (1 tsp), salt (1 pinch), and mixed herbs (2 tbsp).
- 6
Using wet hands to prevent sticking, shape the mixture into 10 round patties and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

Lightly brush the tops of the fritters with extra olive oil (1 tbsp) and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown, flipping them over at the halfway point.

Prepare the dip by combining soy yogurt (250 g), fresh herbs (2 tbsp), lemon juice (1 tbsp), and pepper black (1 pinch) in a small bowl.

Serve the fritters hot out of the oven accompanied by the herby yogurt dipping sauce.
