BAKED GREEN PEA FRITTERS (VEGAN + GF)

250 g / 2 cups frozen peas (Petit Pois or Garden Peas)
1 tbsp olive oil plus extra for baking
1 large white onion diced
3 garlic cloves minced
140 g / 1 1/2 cups besan flour (or chickpea flour)
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
A pinch of salt
2 tbsp mixed fresh or dried herbs finely chopped (I used mixed dried Italian herbs)

HERBY YOGHURT DIPPING SAUCE

1 cup Soy yoghurt
Mixed fresh or dried herbsfinely chopped (I used fresh rosemary, parsley and mint)
Juice from 1 lemon

Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Add the peas to a medium saucepan, cover with water and boil, according to packet's instructions and drain well.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic for a few minutes, until softened.
Add the peas, onions and garlic to a food processor and pulse until it becaomes a thick paste. Alternatively, you can use a masher to mix it by hand.
Stir in the chickpea flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and herbs.
The mixture is quite sticky so you will need to wet your hands to shape them into patties. Scoop 1 tbsp of the mixture, roll into a ball and press down slightly to create a patty shape on the baking sheet.
