Ingredients

Roasted capsicum, not in oil

60 g, chopped

Lemon(s)

1 medium, cut into wedges, to serve

Olive oil

1 tbs

Shortcut bacon

100 g, chopped

Frozen green peas

2 cup(s), (240g)

White self-raising flour

½ cup(s), (75g)

Egg(s)

3 medium, lightly beaten

Skim milk

¼ cup(s), (60ml)

Haloumi cheese

75 g, grated

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook bacon, stirring, for 5 minutes or until crisp. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Meanwhile, cook peas in a saucepan of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and return to pan. Coarsely mash warm peas with a potato masher. Place flour in a large bowl. Whisk in eggs and milk until smooth. Fold in haloumi, capsicum, bacon and mashed peas until just combined (do no over-mix).
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Spoon four ¼-cup amounts of pea mixture into pan. Cook fritters for 2–3 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and pea mixture, in 2 batches, to make 8 more fritters. Serve with lemon wedges.
