   Rinse the peas thoroughly and soak them in cold water overnight. Drain the water. Place the peas in a saucepan and add 3 cups of water. Bring the peas to a boil, cook over moderate heat until tender. Add salt at the end of cooking, when the peas are almost soft. Adding salt at the beginning of cooking will make it difficult to cook the peas and will increase the cooking time.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the finished peas in a sieve to drain excess water.

4. STEP 4

    Add egg and flour. Add salt if necessary. You can add any spices to your taste and desire.

11. STEP 11

12. STEP 12

    

    To reduce the dough sticking to your hands, form the cutlets with wet hands. They can be made round or oval. Bread the cutlets in flour on both sides.

13. STEP 13

    

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and place the formed cutlets. Fry the pea cutlets over moderate heat until golden brown. This will take no more than 3-4 minutes.

You can very tasty diversify your family's menu with pea cutlets. And judging by the composition of the recipe for Pea cutlets in a frying pan, it is clear that the cutlets will also be budget-friendly, which is also important. I also soaked the peas overnight, and by morning they had swollen 2-3 times. Cooked in the proportions given in the recipe for about an hour. At the same time, the peas were well boiled, the water almost evaporated. The remaining liquid was drained through a sieve. Onions and carrots were fried in unrefined mustard oil for additional aroma and taste. I punched the “minced meat” with a blender, but did not achieve a smooth mass, left inclusions of peas and vegetables, I like it better) Half of the flour was replaced with potato starch for a more delicate consistency and additional stickiness. The mass turned out to be tender and viscous, but easily molded into a ball. It’s also easy to roll in flour, there were no problems with that at all) I fried the cutlets in mustard oil. Indeed, they cook very quickly in a frying pan. I got rid of excess oil with a paper towel. The cutlets are simply wonderful! They hold their shape perfectly, while being soft, tender and juicy! They also have a bright golden brown crust. The taste is slightly sweet, I think this is due to the carrots. The recipe is excellent, I recommend it!

Very tasty cutlets were made from peas. The children immediately took it with them to a picnic. I soaked the peas overnight and they swelled up nicely. There is no meat grinder, but I used a blender. Otherwise I followed the recipe. Quite a few hard small pieces of peas come across the tooth. But this doesn’t spoil the cutlets at all (you can’t taste the raw peas). Due to the spices and garlic, the cutlets are aromatic and tender. I liked the recipe. Thanks to the author!
