Recipe - Black-Eyed Pea Fritters

One half pound Blackeyed peas, soaked
4 Garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Black pepper
4 tablespoon Water
Oil for frying
Lime juice to taste

When peas have softened, rub off skins, soak an additional 30 minutes.
Drain & rinse.

In a food processor, process peas, garlic, salt & pepper. Add water while
continuing to process. Add enough water to get a smooth, thick puree.

Preheat oven to 250F. In a large skillet, heat 2 to 3 inches oil & fry 1
tablespoon of the batter till its golden brown. Repeat till all the batter has been
fried in this way. Keep in oven to keep hot. Serve piping hot, sprinkled
with salt & lime juice.
