Step 1

Whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 3

Refrigerate until needed. (Can be made ahead of time)

Step 4

Make the Pea Fritters:

Step 5

Cook peas in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 6

Drain and mash coarsely using a fork or pulse briefly in a food processor until chunky.

Step 7

In a large bowl whisk together the egg, green onions or shallots, mint, lemon rind, feta, coconut flour and salt and pepper. Add in the pea mixture and mix thoroughly. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb some of the moisture.

Heat a thin layer of coconut oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat and place heaped tablespoons of the pea mixture in the pan pressing down the mixture into a disc. Cook in batches flipping when golden on one side (about 2 minutes each side).
