 Carlin Pea Fritters
 

The following recipe has nothing whatsoever to do with my mum, but I spotted it on an Internet site belonging to the ‘Irish Seed Savers Association’ and I thought it would be interesting to try. The recipe was sent in to the site by Lorraine Marshall and I have reproduced it below.

 

Carlin Pea Fritters

 

4ozs Dried whole Carlin peas

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1 egg

2ozs self-raising wholewheat flour

1/8 pt(75ml) milk ( I use soya milk)

sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

oil for shallow frying

 

Cover peas with boiling water and leave them to soak for several hours, then drain and rinse them. Put into a saucepan with more water and simmer until they're soft- about 45 mins.

Drain them and mash them (I find that the carlin peas cook unevenly some are still hardish, so I get my husband to mash them with a fork!).

Add oil, egg, flour and milk plus salt and pepper, mix well.

Fry in a little oil in desertspoonful sizes until crisp and brown on both sides. Drain well on kitchen paper.
