Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lb dried black-eyed peas
1 cup water, plus extra for soaking peas
2 large onions, minced
salt & cayenne pepper to taste
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/4 cup red palm oil
sea salt flakes

Steps:

  • 1. make the batter: wash & drain peas, then soak overnight in cold water. Grind peas in a blender, adding water gradually to form a firm paste. Fold onion, salt & cayenne into mixture (use no more than 1/8 tsp. cayenne first unti you determine how hot you like it). 2. Fry the patties: in a large, deep non-stick skillet, heat a thin layer of the combined oils. Working in batches, drop spoonfuls of pea paste into skillet until it is full, but not crowded, with patties. Cook each patty 3-4 minute until browned on one side. Then turn to brown the other side. Add a few more drops of oil if necessary to ensure the edges of patty become slightly crispy. When both sides are browned, remove fritters witha slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Garnish with sea salt flakes (optional). Serve warm with tomoato chutney or chili sauce.
