Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients.
Place the lentils into a bowl and cover with several inches of water. Set aside to soak for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
Drain the lentils and place into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Add the peas, onion, garlic, mint, lemon zest and process again until smooth.
Stir through the crumbled feta cheese.
Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once sizzling, scoop the mixture in and use the back of a spoon to gently flatten. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Repeat until you’ve used up all of the mixture. (If your lentils are not soft enough to scoop, you can gently shape the fritters into patties using your hands before frying them). We used about 3 tablespoons worth of mixture for each fritter.

Fab recipe, will batch cook these going forward for sure. I have small blender so halved quantity of peas for blender and kept rest whole, worked out really well in recipe with sweet bursts when you bite into pan cake!
I added one egg white to the mix, just to ensure it to hold together. Ate them with tzatziki, a perfect matsch!
Absolutely delicious! I was a little skeptical as there was no binding agent and it felt at first that the fritters wouldn’t hold their shape…but you have to give it the full 5 min on each side and it’ll work out. Very tasty!
Nice, will try another flavour next
Delicious! Need to turn carefully in the pan, but SO good. I stored the mixture in the fridge overnight, then cooked it up fresh for dinner the following evening :)
Easy to make. Feta gives it a nice cheesy taste
I was a little worried based on the other review. Have tons of mint in the garden and 25g tasted fine to me. I did however add some nutritional yeast and Aleppo chilli flakes. I love them and used the lemon juice to make a tomato and lettuce salad to eat with them.
Not as much depth of flavour as I'd expected, 25g of mint seems a lot but we enjoyed these with some Greek yogurt on the side & a salad for lunch.
