My son Elliott couldn't get enough of these. Evelyn was more ambivalent, but it was only our first go at it. We did alter the recipe a little, because we didn't have a hot chile or fresh ginger. Instead we used a jalapeno pepper, and ground ginger.
Akara Black-eyed Pea Fritters
1 can of black-eyed peas drained
1/2 cup onion
3-4 garlic cloves minced
1 jalapeno pepper
1/4 cup red bell pepper
1 tsp. ginger
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 cayenne
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 cup cornmeal
oil for deep frying
We threw it all into the food processor until it was well mixed, after stopping and scraping the sides a few times. The batter stuck to the spoon and had to be shaken off, so add more corn meal if it seems too runny. Deep fry for 3-5 minutes on 300 degrees.
