Kid Friendly Recipes - Ham and pea fritters
|
 Preparation
Time 10 minutes
Cooking Time 25 minutes
Makes 12
Ingredients
200g (1 1/4 cups) fresh peas
100g (1 cup) diced leg ham
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 quantity basic fritter batter (see related recipe)
1 1/2 tbs olive oil
Method
Cook peas in a medium saucepan of salted boiling water for 5
minutes or until bright green and tender (see microwave
tip). Drain. Refresh under cold running water.
Kid's task: Add ham, onion and half the peas to the fritter
batter. Use a fork to mash the remaining peas in a small
bowl and add to the batter. Stir until just combined.
Heat 2 tsp of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high
heat. Spoon 2 tbs of the fritter batter into the pan. Repeat
to make 3 more fritters, spaced about 5cm apart. Cook for 3
minutes or until golden underneath and bubbles appear on the
surface. Turn and cook for a further 3 minutes or until
cooked through. Transfer to a warm plate and cover with foil
to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter and oil in 2 more
batches to make 12 fritters.
