- Add more salt to taste.
- Refrigerate until needed.
- For the cakes: Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and saute onion and red bell pepper.
- Once they are nicely softened, transfer to a large bowl and cool.
- Drain cooked peas well.
- Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Put the peas in the food processor (no need to wash the processor bowl) and pulse 4-5 times in a quick interval.
- Do not over process.
- You want the mixture to be somewhat chunky but mashed.
- Add peas to the onion and red bell pepper mixture.
- Add garlic, 1/3 cup of Panko, and the remaining cakes ingredients.
- Combine well.
- Mixture will be a little wet but it will cook and get firm.
- Put the remaining panko bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and make into 8 cakes.
- Roll the cakes in the panko bread crumbs.
- Using the same frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil to medium-high heat and cook 4 cakes until the crust is golden brown and cake is firm, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- When the first batch is done remove them to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the remaining oil and repeat the process with the remaining patties.
- Serve cakes hot with avocado aioli.
