Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

Add the peas to boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the peas to ice water to preserve their color. Drain in a sieve.

Step 3

Remove the seeds from the chili pepper and finely chop it.

Step 4

Cut the bacon into small pieces and fry it over low heat until it turns crispy and golden.

Step 5

Separate a quarter of the peas and set aside. Place the remaining peas in a blender, add milk and chili pepper, and blend until smooth.

Step 6

In another bowl, crack the egg, add the flour with the baking powder, and mix with the pea puree.

Step 7

Add the bacon and dried thyme, season lightly with salt, and stir again.

Step 8

Add the remaining whole peas and gently stir to ensure the peas retain their shape.

Step 9

Heat a skillet with oil, spoon the batter to form pancakes, and fry until golden brown on each side for 2–4 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the pancakes from the skillet to a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the pancakes with Greek yogurt.
