Pea, za’atar and feta fritters

This is pretty much a roll-call of my favourite things: green peas, ricotta, za’atar and feta. Add the words fritter and fried and I’m the one at the hob, eating them straight from the pan, all hot and crispy. For those with more restraint, they also work at room temperature, though they lose their crunch. The batter can be made in advance and kept in the fridge for 1 day; just hold back on adding the baking powder and mint until you are ready to start frying.
