- Cook the frozen peas in boiling water for 3 minutes until softened then drain and immediately plunge into the iced water. Set aside to fully cool.
- Put the roughly chopped green onions into the food processor and pulse until they are chopped. Add the drain cooled peas and pulse chop until you have a nubbly mixture.
- Add in the egg, milk and fresh parsley then pulse again until just mixed. You want the peas to still have some texture.
- In a mixing bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt together. Add the wet ingredients and stir together to make a wet batter.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy fry pan, then fry teaspoons of the mixture until golden and set around the edges, flip the fritters and cook for a further minute.
- Remove the first batch of fritters to a plate and repeat until all the mixture has been used up.
To Serve
- Serve the fritters at room temperature with a small dollop of mascarpone and a thin swirl of prosciutto.
