This is an older recipe of mine, but still remember it being simple and yummy.
Before I start cooking something, sometimes I just have a feel or taste of what I’d like to create. This time I had peas in my mind and cakes. I open my fridge and pantry and see what is available to work with. I’ve found potatoes, mint, parsley… Here is what happened.
Ingredients:
-
- 450 g fresh or frozen peas
-
- 3 medium size potatoes
-
- 1 tbsp chopped mint
-
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
-
- Salt, pepper
For the salad
-
- 1 box of baby spinach
-
- 1 bunch if French radish, or whatever you have available
-
- 1 bunch of purslane
Dressing:
-
- Juice of half a lemon
-
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Method:
-
- Peel, cut the potatoes and cook until soft. Cook the peas in boiling water until soft.
- In the meantime wash the salad ingredients and prepare the dressing. Let it cool.
- Once the potatoes and peas are cooked, put them in a bowl and mash together.
- Add the herbs and garlic and spices. Combine.
- Make small cakes and place them on a lightly oiled baking tray.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 Celsius for about 20-25 minutes. Turn the cakes half way through.
- Assemble the salad.
