Instructions

  1. To make the pea and ricotta fritters:
  2. Place the ricotta, peas, baby spinach, mint, basil, lemon zest, parmesan, eggs, sea salt and pepper into a large bowl. Mix to thoroughly combine. Place a fry pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil. Take heaped tablespoons of the ricotta mixture, shape into rounds and gently place into the fry pan. Flatten slightly. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for a further 2-3 minutes or until golden and set. Place cooked fritters into a plate lined with kitchen paper. Continue frying until no mixture remains.
  3. To make the tomato salad:
  4. Cut the tomatoes into a variety of shapes (slice, quarter, halve) and arrange on a large wooden board along with the red onion and basil leaves. Season with sea salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and pesto.
  5. Add cooked fritters to the board, top with a drizzle of pesto, basil leaves and grating of parmesan. Serve immediately.
