15-MINUTE GREEN PEA FRITTERS

4 fritters, 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup green peas (fresh or thawed frozen)

• 1 cup baby spinach or kale (chopped)

• ½ cup gluten free flour blend

• 2 tbsp arrowroot powder (or rice flour for crispiness)

• 1 tsp cumin powder

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder

• 1/2 tsp sattvic spice mix (optional for extra flavor)

• ½ tsp pink salt (or to taste)

• 1-inch piece ginger, grated

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• ¼ cup water (adjust as needed for consistency)

• 2 tbsp ghee or avocado oil for frying

• Olive oil, fresh lemon juice, or coconut yogurt for topping

DIRECTIONS

1. Add all ingredients (except water and oil) to a food processor. Pulse until it forms a thick batter. Gradually add water if needed to achieve a spoonable consistency.

2. Warm ghee or avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.

3. Spoon small dollops of batter (enough for 4 equal sized fritters) into the pan, flatten slightly, and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

4. Enjoy warm with a squeeze of lemon, drizzle of olive oil or dollop of coconut yogurt.

Notes

• I love a dish that you can just throw all the ingredients into one place, add them to a pan, and cook it. EASY PEASY - pun intended :).

• Here's the thing with peas - they can be constipating and gas-forming to a vata IF they are not well spiced and cooked. In this dish, we have a good amount spice AND we are cooking the peas. If you are sensitive to constipation and gas, option to put a lid on the pan while the fritters are cooking. That way, they steam a litte bit more which would make them more digestible.

• You will probably want a sauce with these fritters. Try any of the #sauces OR a simple drizzle of olive oil, salt, and lemon will do - that is how I like them :).

• Option to serve these on their own or with any #grainsideoption
