Ingredients
2.5 cups cooked peas2 cups cooked quinoa1 eggwhite2 tbsp rice flour2 tbsp vegetable oilsea salt and cracked pepperextra oil for cooking
1. If your peas are uncooked/frozen.
Place your peas in a bowl and cover with boiling water. You can either let them sit, covered, until they defrost/cook or you can chuck them in the microwave for a few minutes (i'm always in a hurry and I prefer the microwave method)
2. While your peas are cooking, place the quinoa (if you don't know how to cook quinoa see the tips section of this post for info), rice flour and vegetable oil in a separate bowl. Also, separate your eggwhite.
3. Once the peas are cooked, mash them up. The consistency of your peas is a personal preference. I like mine pretty mushy and I use a stick mixer to give them a quick mash.
4. Add all the ingredients together.
I get really paranoid that the eggwhite start cooking because of the hot peas, so I usually add that last.
5. Mix thorougly.
6. Add a little veg oil to a pan and heat to a moderate temperature.
7. Make little patties and place in pan.
I like to scoop out a 1/4 or 1/3 cup full of the mix to make my patties. That way they're all a similar size and shape. Note I squash them with my fingers so they're about 1-2 cm flat when they're in the pan.
8. Cook for around 5 minutes. Check the bottom of them, they're ready when they go crispy brown.
9. Flip them over and cook for around the same length of time on the other side.
