Preparation
Step 1
INSTRUCTIONS:
ONE: Prepare fritters: In a medium bowl, add peas
and partially mash with a fork or potato masher.
Place bread in a blender and grind into coarse
bread crumbs. Add bread crumbs to peas with
scallions, bell pepper, garlic, egg whites, thyme,
jalapenos, salt and black pepper.
TWO: Heat 1 1/2 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet on
medium. Working in 2 batches, spoon fritter batter
into skillet in ¼ cup mounds, flattening slightly
so they measure 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Cook for
3 minutes per side or until lightly golden. Once
cooked, set aside on a separate plate. Repeat with
remaining batter and 1 1/2 tsp oil.
THREE: Meanwhile, prepare sauce: In a small bowl,
stir together sour cream and horseradish.
FOUR: Prepare rice: In a medium bowl, combine rice
ingredients and toss gently.
FIVE: To serve, divide rice mixture, fritters and
sauce evenly among 4 plates.
