AKARA (AFRICAN)



Akara (African) image

Recipe from the Food Network. States that this is a traditional Nigerian dinner. You have to plan ahead (to soak the beans), but otherwise it comes together quite quickly. And it's vegetarian to boot!

Categories     Beans

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb dried black-eyed peas
2 small onions
1 red pepper
salt
white pepper
olive oil
2 ripe tomatoes
1 green pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Soak peas overnight in lots of water. Drain. Peel the outside skin from the peas.
  • In a processor, pulse the 1 onion and red pepper to coarsely chop. Add soaked peas and puree to a paste. Transfer to a bowl and using a whisk, whisk the mixture adding salt, white pepper and just a little soaking liquid -- not too much as the mixture needs to retain its shape for frying.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, form into balls about the size of a ping-pong ball. Drop into a pot of hot olive oil, heated to 360 degrees F. Fry until golden brown. Remove to paper towel-lined plate. Season again with salt and pepper.
  • Make a quick dipping sauce by pulsing 2 seeded tomatoes, 1 onion, 1 green pepper and some parsley in food processor. Add olive oil and season with salt and pepper. It should be a little chunky, but smooth enough to stick to the fried akara.

  • Soak the beans for about 30 minutes till the skin is swollen and peel off the skin by rubbing it between your palms, or simply use a blender by pulsing it a couple of times till the skin falls off.
  • Put the beans into a large bowl and separate the skin from the beans by adding enough water and gently swirling the beans around so that the skin can float. Pour off the skins into a colander. Repeat this process until the beans are clean.
  • Pour the clean beans inside the blender, add the water, red bell pepper, habanero pepper, salt, bouillon powder, and crayfish, and blend into a paste.
  • Pour the batter into a large bowl and whisk it together until it's light and fluffy. Hand whisk for about 3 to 4 minutes or an electric hand mixer for about a minute or two.

  • I usually peel and soak my beans the night before the day I will use it, but it is okay to peel and soak for a few hours, this will soften the beans and blends easily.
  • Rinse the peel beans and blend (with no water or as little as possible), when it almost smooth add 1/2 onion, habanero, and red bell pepper and continue to blend. If you use too much water it won't hold together when frying.
  • Pour into a bowl and add egg, crayfish, salt, and seasoning cube (if you're using it). Mix in a circular form to incorporate air into the mixture or you a mixer. TIP: Put water in a small cup/bowl drop like a peas size mixture into water, if it floats it is ready to be used.
