Green Pea Cakes with Heirloom Tomatoes
SERVES 4

---

INGREDIENTS: Forget the chocolate or ice cream cake, just stick a candle in a stack of these bad boys and call it a birthday. And what's the deal with Harrison Ford? I mean, we get it... he's a reluctant hero who does whatever he can to nervously protect his family/country/pet ferret Wilma. Oh wait, pea cakes. Pair them with some freshly sliced heirloom tomatoes and say hello to summer! 3/4 Cup Flour Kosher Salt and Black Pepper to taste 1/2 Tbs. Dried Dill 1 Egg, lightly beaten 1/3 Cup Whole Milk 1 Cup English Peas, shelled and blanched 1/2 Cup Canola Oil 2 Heirloom Tomatoes 2 Tbs. Olive Oil

Method: Combine the flour, dill, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the beaten egg and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients with a fork until you have a pancake like batter... adding more milk or flour if neccessary. Stir in the peas. Heat a non stick skillet with the canola oil on medium high heat. Pour about 2 or 3 Tbs. of the batter into the pan to make a cake. Fry the cakes on each side for about 2 minutes until golden brown and thoroughly cooked in the middle. Drain on paper towels and serve with the tomatoes, sliced, drizzled with olive oil, salt, and pepper and a bowl of salsa for dipping.
