Thank you Birds Eye Peas for sponsoring this post

These fritters turned out even better than I hoped for. There is something quite “meaty” about them, which would make them an excellent meat substitute in meals. I think kids would love these instead of nuggets, for example.

They also work as a falafel-alternative. Add them to pitta wraps, eat them with a salad or serve them as an appetizer with some dip. I’ve shared a recipe for a lovely, quick dairy-free herby yoghurt dip but honestly, I’ve mainly been eating these with some good, old-fashioned, classy ketchup.

For this recipe, I used Birds Eye’s Petit Pois but this would also work with their Garden Peas, just as well. I like these peas because they’re a bit sweeter, with a great flavour.
