For a smoother texture, you can use a food processor to pulse the peas instead of mashing them by hand. Be careful not to over-process them into a puree. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Pecorino Romano or Asiago would also work well. Add some finely chopped fresh herbs, such as mint, parsley, or dill, to the pea mixture for added flavor and freshness. These patties can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before frying. For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes to thicken) and use a plant-based Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the green peas and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Drain the peas thoroughly and transfer them to a mixing bowl. (5 min)
02
StepUsing a fork or potato masher, gently mash the peas, leaving some texture for a more rustic patty. (3 min)
03
StepIn the bowl with the mashed peas, add the flour, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, milk, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time. If it's too dry, add a touch more milk, a teaspoon at a time. The mixture should hold together when formed into patties. (5 min)
04
StepShape the pea mixture into patties, about 1/2-inch thick. (10 min)
05
StepHeat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. (3 min)
06
StepCarefully place the patties in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. (8 min)
07
StepRemove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. (2 min)
08
StepServe immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a spicy mayo (combine mayonnaise with Sriracha sauce to taste).
