Split Pea Burgers

Recipe Introduction
Original recipe by Sandra
List of Ingredients
* 2 cups of split peas soaked overnight to the point where they are just starting to ferment a little (This gives the patties a really nice, slightly sour flavor.)
* 1 large onion or a bunch of spring onions sauteed lightly in olive oil
* 1 cup of mixed fresh herbs
* 1 cup of lightly roasted chopped almonds
* gf bread crumbs
* salt and pepper
Recipe
Drain liquid from peas.
Put the peas (uncooked, which is the secret for making any type of patty from legumes) and herbs in a processor and blend until the peas all combined and in a paste.
Put it all into a mixing bowl and add the almonds and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix in as many bread crumbs as required to make a mixture that will form into patties.
Shallow fry them in olive oil.
Note from Sandra: They are so easy and you can make a lot of them at once and eat them for the next couple of days.
Note from BL: They freeze well on parchment on a cookie sheet and store well in the freezer if separated by a sheet of parchment between patties. Warm on the griddle, in the oven, or the microwave. Excellent on taco shells, roti or as part of a tortilla as well.
