**INSTRUCTIONS** 1. Blanch peas in boiling salted water until bright green and tender. Drain and rinse with very cold water. If using defrosted peas, skip this step. 2. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup of peas, mint and onion until puréed. Add eggs, flour and salt and process to combine. Stir in remaining peas. 3. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt butter with oil. Drop spoonfuls of batter in hot pan, cooking until set before flipping, about 3 minutes per side. Do not crowd pan. Adjust heat as needed. Divide among plates and serve warm alongside lamb. **Chef’s tip:** Make pancakes in advance and warm when ready to serve. Makes 20 pancakes.
