Akara recipe (bean fritters)

Updated: Nov 21, 2023

Hello foodies, have you ever tasted beans fritters? If so what do you like to serve it with? And what do you call it in your language?


Here is what I used to make them.




Ingredients I Used:

🧑🏾‍🍳 1 1/2 cup soaked peeled black eye beans.

🧑🏾‍🍳 1 red bell pepper.

🧑🏾‍🍳 2 garlic cloves.

🧑🏾‍🍳 1 vegetable stock.

🧑🏾‍🍳 1/4 cup water.


🧑🏾‍🍳 Little water to help blending, careful not to use too much, I used about 1/3 cup.


Additives are optional and to taste I Used:


🧑🏾‍🍳 1 finely diced spring onion.

🧑🏾‍🍳 Half a small onion finely diced.

🧑🏾‍🍳 Salt and pepper to taste.


Methods:

🧑🏾‍🍳 Soak the dried peeled beans in cold water for 1 hours.


🧑🏾‍🍳 Add strained soaked beans to blender plus the garlic, bell pepper and cube stock pour in LITTLE WATER than blend until smooth. Do not over blend it.


🧑🏾‍🍳 Add in the diced onions, season to taste than whisk until batter becomes airy and fluffy.


🧑🏾‍🍳 Preheat oil on medium heat, scoop the mixture in and fry until golden brown, it can take about 3 minutes on each side.


NOTE: YOU CAN BUY THE NON PEEL BLACK EYE PEAS TO MAKE THIS AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF PEELING IT YOURSELF BUT I ALWAYS PREFER READY PEELED BEANS.


🧡 Happy cooking. Please share and invite other foodies to come join us. 🧡
