Name: Pea, crab and za’atar fritters
Total time: 1200 s
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 3 tablespoon za’atar; 350 gram frozen garden peas; 120 gram mascarpone; 200 gram feta cheese; 2 large egg; 100 gram plain flour; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 150 gram white crab meat; 1/2 lemon; as needed vegetable oil; to taste salt; to taste black pepper; to taste roasted garlic mayonnaise

Step 1

Add the za'atar (20 g) , peas (350 g) , mascarpone (120 g) , feta (200 g) , eggs (2) , flour (100 g) , baking powder (10 g) , salt (to taste) and pepper (to taste) to a food processor. Pulse-blitz until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 2

Pour the mix into a mixing bowl, add the crab meat (150 g) and lemon juice (1/2) and mix carefully, then season to taste.

Step 3

Heat the oil (as needed) , preferably in a deep-fat fryer to 170°C/325°F. If you don't have one, heat the oil in a deep-sided saucepan and test the temperature by dropping a breadcrumb into the hot oil. It should turn golden in about 25-30 seconds.

Step 4

Take a tablespoonful of the mix and slide it into the oil, using another spoon to push the mix off if it helps. (Always work away from you when deep-frying.) Fry the fritters in batches until golden brown and remove from the oil using a slotted spoon. Place on kitchen paper and sprinkle with a pinch of za'atar. Serve hot with the roasted garlic mayo (to taste) on the side for dipping.
