Pan-Fried Akara

Ingredients

  • 1 cup black-eyed peas (peeled)
  • 1 rodo/habaenero
  • Small piece of red bell pepper (optional)
  • 1 small chopped onion (divided)
  • 1 green onion (chopped)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Oil (your choice)
  • Water
  • Seasoning powder/cube
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Add the peeled beans into the blender cup, add rodo, red bell (red bell pepper is not important, I added them because I had a few pieces leftover), half of the onion, blend until smooth.

  2. Pour into a bowl, add green onion, the remaining onion, seasoning powder, salt then mix to combine. You don’t need to incorporate air like Akara, so a simple mix will do. I used less than ¾ cup of water in total with blending, rinsing of the blender cup and all. You might use lesser than mine, but I recommend you add water little by little, also you don’t want the batter to be too thick.

  3. Add a few drops of oil in a small non-skillet pan over medium heat and allow to heat not too hot because you don’t want the Akara to burn.

  4. Scoop small batter (I used ¼ cup to scoop) and cook for about 1 minute, flip and cook on the other side for about. The cooking time will vary depending on how thick your batter is.
