Ingredients
- 14 ounces dried black-eyed peas
- half a small onion, chopped
- 2 small carrots, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- salt and black pepper
- flour, for coating
- peanut oil (for frying)
Method
- Soak the black-eyed peas overnight. Drain, and place in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes or until tender. Drain.
- Put the beans in a blender with the onion, carrots and egg (add a little water if you need to, but not too much). Season with salt and pepper and blend into a smooth paste.
- Heat the oil until bubbles rise around the non-stirring end of a wooden spoon. Meanwhile, shape the paste into flat patties, then dip in flour. Fry in the hot oil until browned, turning once.
- Hint: don't fiddle with them. It should take about five minutes per side to cook, but if you lift them too often they'll start to disintegrate.
