Pea fritters with poached eggs
Starting the day with a savoury, protein-rich breakfast can make a big difference to managing our blood sugar levels, the benefits of which can be felt throughout the day: sustained energy, reduced snacking and cravings and balanced mood.
Recipe
- Serves 2
- 200g frozen peas
- 2 spring onions, roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 70g buckwheat flour
- 3 large eggs
- Salt and pepper
- Coconut oil for frying
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1. Blanch the peas in a bowl of boiling water for 1 minute, then drain.
2. Blitz the peas, spring onions, chilli flakes, garlic, buckwheat flour and 1 of the eggs together in a food processor with a pinch of salt and pepper until chunky but combined.
3. Heat half a tsp of coconut oil in a small frying pan. Using your hands or a spoon, add a palm sized ball of mixture to the pan and cook for a few minutes until golden. Carefully flip it over and cook on the other side in the same way.
4. Repeat until all the mixture has gone - this should make 4 fritters.
5. Cut the avocado in half, removing the stone and skin. Place the flesh in a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the lime juice and a good pinch of salt. Mix together and set to the side.
6. Boil a small saucepan of water, enough to ensure the water is at least 4cm deep. Add the apple cider vinegar to the water. When at a high simmer, crack the eggs individually into the pan, a little apart, poaching for 2-3 minutes, or a few minutes longer for hard yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon.
7. To serve, place one fritter per plate, top with half the mashed avocado and sandwich together with another fritter. Top each stack with a poached egg.
