Baked Green Pea Fritters
Ingredients
2 cups Frozen Peas
1/4 cup Water
1 Yellow Onion (chopped)
3 Garlic (clove, minced)
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 cup All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
1/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Yogurt
1 1/2 tbsps Lemon Juice
1 tsp Dried Chives
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF (176ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the peas according to package directions. Drain the cooked peas and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor.
Meanwhile, heat the water in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for three to five minutes or until the onions have softened and the water has evaporated. Let the onions cool slightly then transfer to the food processor with the peas.
Add the salt to the food processor with the peas and pulse a couple of times to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl then continue to blend until mostly smooth.
Transfer the green pea mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the flour. Form the mixture into patties approximately two to three inches in diameter and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes flipping halfway through or until browned on both sides. Let the fritters cool for 10 to 15 minutes on the baking sheet (fritters will continue to firm up as they cool).
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the coconut yogurt, lemon juice and chives. Season with salt if needed. To serve, divide the fritters and yogurt dipping sauce between plates and enjoy!
