1

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the peas and boil for 5 minutes. Strain immediately and rinse with ice-cold water.

2

In a blender, add ¾ of the blanched peas, 30g mint leaves, parsley, garlic, lemon and hummus. Blend until as smooth as you prefer, we opted for a chunkier hummus. Season to taste. Set aside.

3

To make the mini kofta bites, divide each kofta in half and reshape. You may want to wear gloves. In a large non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil then fry the mini kofta until golden, gently shaking the pan every few minutes.

4

When ready to serve, spread the pea hummus on a serving plate or spoon into a large shallow bowl. Top with the mini kofta bites. Scatter over with remaining blanched peas, mint and drizzle over the olive oil.

5

Grill the pita and serve alonside the mini kofta bites.
