Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Boil the peas 2 minutes, until bright green, drain them and let the steam go.
  2. Blitz them coarsely in a food processor with the oats, flour, oil, garlic and pepper, then stand the mixture 10 minutes.
  3. Roll the mixture into twelve fingers on a lined half baking tray and press the pumpkin seeds on.
  4. Bake 18-20 minutes, until firm and browned at the edges.
  5. Scatter the parsley over and squeeze the lemon juice on as they come out of the oven.
Chef’s tipBlitz the peas coarsely, not smooth, and let the mixture stand ten minutes before you roll it. The oats need that time to drink the water out of the peas; rolled straight away the sticks spread flat on the tray.
KeepKeeps 3 days in an airtight container. Re-crisp 5 minutes in a hot oven; they go soft in an airtight container. Scatter the seeds at the table so they stay crisp. Freezes 1 month; re-crisp 8 minutes from frozen.
SwapNo pumpkin seeds? Sunflower or sesame, and press them on firmly.
