Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Drain liquid from canned peas, rinse thoroughly with cold water and drain again.
  2. Grind peas with the garlic and a little bit of water in a blender until you have a thick, lumpy puree.
  3. Add in the salt and cumin and blend well.
  4. In a pan, lightly saute the chopped onion and green pepper for 1-2 minutes in 2 tablespoons olive oil; let cool.
  5. In a bowl, mix the onion/pepper mixture into the ground pea mixture.
  6. Add in fresh lime juice.
  7. Gradually blend in white flour, a little at a time, until your dough is the consistency of cookie dough.
  8. Use a large deep frying pan; add vegetable oil to a depth of about 3 inches; heat oil to about 360°-375°; don’t let the oil get too hot (you may use a deep fat fryer if you have one, following the maker’s directions).
  9. Drop dough by tablespoons into the hot oil—cook a few at a time and don’t overcrowd the pan.
  10. Let them cook until golden brown, turning occasionally, about 3-4 minutes.
  11. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels; serve hot with lime wedges and hot sauce, if desired.
