I got the recipe from my friend Lee's Vegaloca blog. You can see her original recipe here. I made some modifications mostly because I didn't have all the ingredients. Firstly, and very importantly, I didn't use black eyed peas, but garbanzos soaked overnight and cooked this morning. I had no carrots, so I used some zucchini instead. I found that the garbanzos absorbed moisture, so I only added half the flour called for in Lee's recipe. I fried the first batch; for the following batches, I just added a little bit of oil and cooked them that way.
The spunky taste combination of cilantro and onion is amazing. As I may have mentioned before, I'm a ketchup fiend, and this time was no exception. Yum, Lee, this was a great idea!!!
(I may very well eat some of the uncooked leftovers raw with some lime juice and finely diced chili peppers!)
Yay Kika, I'm so glad you tried these and they worked for you. I may use garbanzos sometime too, that's a good idea.
ResponderEliminarLee, I DID try them with lime juice and chili peppers, but the juice combined with the breadcrumbs made for a not-so-yummy texture. Let me know how they work for you with the garbanzos.
