Ingredients:

1 cup of fresh or frozen peas
1 large egg
1/2 cup of milk
3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil (for frying)
Optional: A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and extra mint leaves for garnishing

Instructions:

Prepare the Pea Mixture: If using frozen peas, thaw them first. Blend the peas, egg, and milk in a food processor until you get a smooth mixture.
Make the Pancake Batter: Transfer the pea mixture to a mixing bowl. Sift in the flour, add the chopped mint, salt, and pepper, and stir until just combined. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in a scoop of the batter to form small pancakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.
Serve: Serve the pancakes hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and some fresh mint leaves.
