Pea “falafel” with all the toppings

By Hannah Lewry

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

2 red onions, chopped
2 chillies, chopped
2 t ground cumin
1 T black sesame seeds, plus extra for sprinkling
2 T olive oil
500 g frozen peas, blanched
30 g mint
2 free-range eggs
200 g breadcrumbs
100 g feta
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Pickled turnips, for serving
Woolworths pickled red onion, for serving
Plain yoghurt, for serving
Pita breads, heated, for serving

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Soften the onions, chillies, cumin and sesame seeds in the olive oil. Allow to cool.

2. Spoon the onion mixture into a food processor, then add the peas, mint, eggs, breadcrumbs and feta. Blitz to create a coarse paste. Season to taste, then allow the mixture to rest for 20 minutes.

3. Spread evenly into two 23 x 10 cm baking trays or loaf tins lined with baking paper. Bake for 35 minutes, or until set. Serve with the pickled turnips, onions, yoghurt and warm pita breads.

Cook's note: You can’t go wrong with a Middle Eastern falafel-inspired bake made with peas, refreshing mint and chilli for a bit of bite.
