- Take small portions of the mixture, form into small balls, then flatten slightly into nugget shapes.
- Crush the cornflakes and press each nugget into them to coat evenly.
- Place the nuggets on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake at 180-190°C (350-375°F) for 10 minutes, until golden and heated through.
- Meanwhile, for the green mayonnaise: cook an additional portion of peas until very soft, then puree and pass through a sieve to remove skins.
- Combine the pea puree with mayonnaise in a 2:1 ratio (two parts puree to one part mayonnaise) and emulsify until smooth and green.
- Serve the nuggets hot with the green mayonnaise on the side.
