To Make:

Step 1

Cook the peas in a medium saucepan of boiling water for 2 mins. Refresh under cold water. Drain well. Place in a large bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to coarsely mash. Whisk in the dill, eggs and milk. Add the flour and stir to combine. Gently fold through 100g of the fetta. Season.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Spoon four 1/4 cups (60ml) of mixture around the pan, allowing room for spreading. Cook for 2 mins or until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn and cook for a further 1-2 mins or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm. Repeat in 2 more batches with remaining batter.

Step 3

Combine the avocado, spinach, lemon segments and tomato in a bowl. Divide the salad and fritters among serving plates. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and remaining fetta.

Notes:

Tip: Keep these veggie fritters in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. Make a batch to have on hand for snacking after school or work – enjoy them cold with bought tzatziki or beetroot dip.


Tip: Veggie fritters are so versatile – make them with any combo of peas, corn kernels, or grated zucchini, carrot or beetroot.
