In my opinion, peas are one of the most underrated and versatile ingredients out there – and what better proof than these vibrant green fritters? Paired with fresh mint, dill, and a splash of lemon, they turn into juicy fritters that taste like summer with each bite. On those warm days you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen but still crave a satisfying meal, this is the one. Served with a crunchy radish salad and some tangy feta – I could eat it all summer long! The best part? This recipe is endlessly adaptable to your taste and the seasons. Swap the radishes for a tomato salad, or add different veggies, spices or herbs to the fritters. Make it yours!

Start with defrosting peas. Meanwhile, finely chop half of the mint and dill, and set the rest aside for garnish. Zest and juice lemon. Finely chop or grate garlic. Wash radishes and slice thinly. In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper to make a dressing. Add radishes, toss to coat, and let sit for approx. 15 min.

- 50 g flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp panko breadcrumbs

Mash defrosted peas in a large bowl using a fork. Add egg, flour, baking powder, lemon zest, garlic, mint, dill, and panko. Mix everything into a sticky dough and season with salt and pepper. If needed, add a bit more panko or flour.

With wet hands, shape small patties from the mixture. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the fritters over medium heat for approx. 3–4 min. per side until golden brown. Let them drain oil on paper towels, if desired.

Serve fritters with marinated radish salad. Crumble feta on top and garnish with the remaining mint, dill, lemon zest, and freshly ground pepper.
