- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves

Directions
For the fritters
Place the peas, kale, ricotta, eggs, chia seeds, lemon rind, mint, salt and pepper in a bowl, mix to combine and allow to stand for 20 minutes.
Heat a little of the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Shape the mixture into 2-tablespoon patties and flatten slightly.
Cook, in batches, for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden, adding more oil as necessary.
Divide between serving plates and top with baba ganoush. Serve with watercress and lemon wedges.
