Ingredients:
8 cups raw malanga, peeled and diced
1 scotch bonnet chile pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus oil for frying
7 to 8 tablespoons spices and herbs seasoning, recipe follows
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped onion
1 -ounce vinegar
1 1/2 ounces olive oil
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
5 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 tablespoons bouillon seasoning
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 scotch bonnet peppers, chopped
1/3 cup coarsely chopped parsley leaves
Directions:
1. Malanga Fritters:
2. Add the malanga to a food processor and pulse until a pasty-like consistency forms, then transfer to a mixing bowl. Using a mortar, mash the chile, parsley and the salt. Heat the 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over low heat, add the Spices and Herbs Seasoning and saute for 1 minute. Add to the bowl with the malanga paste. Stir in the black pepper, cover and let stand for 1 hour. The batter can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
3. Coat a heavy pan, with oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, drop the batter by tablespoons into the hot oil. Do not crowd. Fry the fritters until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the fritters to paper towels to drain. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot.
4. Spices and Herbs Seasoning:
5. Put the 10 first ingredients in a blender or a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the parsley and stir to combine.
