Senegalese Black-Eyed Pa Fitters (Akkra)

Ingredients:

Black-eyed peas soaked overnight 1 pound

Onion chopped1 each

Water1/4 to 1/2 cup

Hot pepper sauce1-2 tablespoons

Salt & pepper to taste

Oil for deep frying

Cooking Instructions:

Place the beans in a large bowl and fill bowl with water. Rub the beans back and forth with your hands to remove their skins. The skins will rise to the surface and can then be poured off. Drain the beans. Place the beans and onion in a food processor. Process to a puree, adding just enough water to form a thick paste. Season with hot sauce, salt and pepper. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a sauté pan until it shimmers, about 365ºF. Fry spoonfuls of the batter, turning till brown on all sides. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with hot pepper sauce.
