Pea and Zucchini Pancakes
Welcome to the world of savory pancakes! Introducing our Pea and Zucchini Pancakes, a delightful combination of fresh peas and zucchini enveloped in a golden, crispy exterior. Originating from the rustic kitchens of Eastern Europe, these pancakes are a testament to the beauty of simplicity in cooking. They make for an excellent breakfast or snack option, and they're packed with an abundance of nutrients from the fresh vegetables. The sweetness of peas pairs wonderfully with the mild zucchini, all brought together with a hint of black pepper that adds just the right amount of warmth. Enjoy them warm with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked peas, grated zucchini, and egg. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. This is your dry mixture.
- Pour the dry mixture into the bowl with the peas and zucchini. Stir until the dry ingredients are well incorporated into the wet ingredients, forming a thick batter.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet and flatten it with a spatula. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
- Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it turns a golden-brown color. Repeat this step with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pea and zucchini pancakes warm. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, or try them with a dollop of sour cream for a traditional Eastern European experience.
