Eat Your Peas!!!

Pea & Halloumi Fritters

Made with Love and Tarragon. 

Although being a Vegetarian has never really appealed to me, i seem to be very good at eating like one! These fritters are crispy and full with flavour. The semolina gives a nutty taste to the batter, the tarragon brings out the best in the peas and the halloumi? Well it needs no introduction! A salty punch with a puffed-up chewy texture that will leave you wanting more. These are great for share plates over lunch or even brunchy breakfast. 

I've served mine with some home made fruit chutney and a rocket salad. If you want to have a go at the chutney give mine a try: Chutney Recipe.

So eat your peas, but do them in style. 

Have a whirl!
