Course Savoury Fritters and Patties

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Split Green Peas
  • 4 cups Stock
  • 1 slice Bread
  • 1 Onion medium, peeled, chopped finely
  • 4 tablespoons Butter
  • ½ Herbs dried
  • Salt
  • Ground Pepper
  • Flour

Instructions
 

  • If you have time overnight to soak the peas in water, do so, then drain, put in a saucepan with the stock and simmer slowly for about 1 ½ hours or peas are tender.
  • If you didn't have time to soak them overnight, allow a slightly longer simmering time, and be prepared to top up the stock with water as the dry beans soak the liquid in.
  • Remove from heat, drain keep the liquid you have drained off!) and let cool.
  • Mix together the breadcrumbs, onion, and herb. Zap 2 tablespoons of the butter to melt, stir it in. Season as desired with salt and pepper. Stir in the cooked peas.
  • Season a handful or so of flour with salt and pepper (anything else that strikes your fancy is fine.)
  • Form the pea mixture into patties; press each side in the seasoned flour.
  • When all the patties are made, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan. All the patties, cook them until golden brown on each side. Try to turn each one only once to minimize their falling apart.
  • Serve piping hot as a side dish.

Notes

If you only have water instead of stock, don't hang yourself, use the water: the stock just adds a bit more flavour.
Use whatever dried herb strikes your fancy: parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, or a mixture.
