Sweet Pea And Leek Pancakes

• 3/4 pound English peas, in their pods
• 3 large leeks (about 1/2 lb after trimming)
• 1/2 cup shallots, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 3/4 teaspoon dried coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon tumeric
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1. Shell the peas and set aside. To prep the leeks, discard the green leafy tops and dark green stalks. Slice the leeks into 1-inch slices and rinse well in a colander to remove any silt.
2. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the leeks (don't worry about drying them off) and shallots and season with 3/4 tsp salt; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until softened.
3. Add the peas, parsley and dried spices to the leek mixture. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, smashing with a wooden spoon or potato masher until about 1/3 of the peas are mashed. Let cool a bit.
4. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, eggs, milk and butter together to make a batter. Fold in the vegetable mixture to combine.
5. Wipe down the saute pan with a paper towel and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Spoon half of the batter into four large fritters and fry, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden browned and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm. Serve with Greek yogurt or creme fraiche and smoked salmon, if desired.
