Pea & Parmesan Fritters

You no longer need to worry about finding a way for your kids to eat green peas.  This recipe for Pea & Parmesan Fritters is the perfect way to transform them into a meal your kids will gobble up.

Growing up I remember loving peas and until recently I totally forgot how much I enjoyed them.  I guess when you get older, and no longer have your mom doing the grocery shopping, you never really think about buying a can of peas.  It's one of the bummers of growing up.

Since I've been introducing more foods to my son, I have fallen back in love with peas.  Luckily, he loves them as well.  But instead of always giving them to him along side another dish, I decide to make these Pea & Parmesan Fritters and make them the star of the meal.  He squeals with excitement every time he eats them!

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?

• 2 15 oz. cans of green peas
• ¼ cup baby rice cereal
• ¼ cup flour (or gluten free flour)
• ½ cup parmesan cheese
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• dash of salt & pepper

HOW DO I MAKE PEA & PARMESAN FRITTERS?

Start by opening and draining 2 15 oz. cans of green peas.  Pour the peas into a large mixing bowl and begin to mash the peas with a potato masher or fork.

Once the peas are broken down, add the following ingredients and stir.

• ¼ cup baby rice cereal
• ¼ cup flour (or gluten free flour)
• ½ cup parmesan cheese
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• dash of salt & pepper

Once everything is mixed well, heat up a griddle or large non-stick skillet.  Spoon a small amount of the pea mixture onto your griddle and cook for approximately 2-4 minutes on each side, or until you have a crispy outer layer.

The batter may seem a little sticky at first, but as long as you leave the fritters on each side for at least 2 minutes (depending on how hot your skillet is) you should have no issues flipping them.

In less than 15 minutes you can have a batch of delicious and nutritious vegetable fritters you kids will love.  Store a few bags in your refrigerator for the week and a few in the freezer for a later date.
