Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

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.

3

Drain the lentils and place into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth.

4

Add the peas, onion, garlic, mint, lemon zest and process again until smooth.

5

Stir through the crumbled feta cheese.

6

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.
