Method

1. Bring a small pan of water to the boil, salt it and blanch the peas for 3 minutes, until tender; drain and mash half of them with a fork.
2. Wash the mint, pick the leaves and chop them; grate the lemon zest, just the yellow part.
3. In a bowl mix all the peas with the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, mint, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and a little water at a time, until you have a thick mixture that holds on a spoon.
4. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and grease it with the oil; drop in spoonfuls of the mixture to make 4 fritters and flatten them slightly.
5. Cook for 3 minutes per side, until golden and firm to the touch, and serve hot.
