I remember as a child, I’d sneak inside while playing with friends, grab a warm favokefte, and run back outside to eat it mid-game. Such simple, happy moments.” Favokeftedes is a delightful mezze that pairs perfectly with almost anything. Its soft texture and rich, flavorful taste make it a favorite in our family. It’s always present at every family gathering, adding a warm, comforting touch to our meals. Favokeftedes (Split Pea Fritters) Recipe Ingredients: • 500g yellow split peas (fava Santorinis) • 1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped • 1 onion, grated • 1 cup grated rusk or breadcrumbs • 1½ cups grated cheese (Graviera or Kefalograviera) • 2 eggs • 1 tbsp salt • Pepper, to taste • All-purpose flour (for coating) • Extra virgin olive oil (for frying) • Greek yogurt or tzatziki (for serving) Instructions Cook the Split Peas: Add 2.5 liters of water to a high-sided pot and bring it to a boil. Add salt, then rinse the split peas thoroughly and add them to the pot. Skim off any foam that forms with a fine mesh strainer. Cook the peas until they are fully softened and have absorbed all the water (refer to the consistency shown in the video). As the water reduces, whisk frequently to prevent the peas from sticking or burning at the bottom of the pot. Once done, transfer the cooked peas to a large bowl and let them cool and firm up slightly. Prepare the Mixture: Once the peas have cooled, add the parsley, grated onion, rusk or breadcrumbs, grated cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is cohesive and holds its shape. Form the Fritters: Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut. Lightly coat each ball in flour, but only coat the ones you’re ready to fry immediately, as the mixture may absorb too much flour if left for too long. Fry the Fritters: Heat a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fritters on all sides until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain Excess Oil: Place the fried fritters on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
