Pumpkin and Pea Fritters
Fritters are a go to for many families as a quick and inexpensive meal. These fritters are great for dinner teamed up with salad, but they're also great the next day for the lunchbox. They even make for a great vegetarian burger patty! Frozen peas are a great item to have in the freezer as they are great to bulk out a lot of meals (and taste delicious!)
Recipe Tester Feedback: "These fritters are family friendly, make heaps and only use a few key staples. Fantastic for breakfast, lunch or a side dish – so versatile, and a great way to change up cooked pumpkin!" - Kylie
