Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 16 oz can cooked small beans

1 small yellow onion -- finely chopped

1 clove garlic -- minced

1 tablespoon habanero hot sauce or curry powder

freshly ground black pepper to taste

vegetable oil for frying

sour cream for garnish

hot sauce for garnish

lime slices for garnish

 

Combine the beans, onion, garlic, hot sauce, and black pepper in a large bowl,

and stir to mix well. Pour vegetable oil 1/4-inch deep into a frying pan and

heat until hot but not smoking (about 325 ° F). Drop heaping teaspoons of the

fritter mixture into the hot oil, about 6 at a time. Fry on both sides until

golden, 4 to 5 minutes per side (if the fritters turn dark immediately, the oil

is too hot). Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with a small bowl of sour cream, hot sauce, and a plate of lime

slices.

NOTES : Easy to make, fritters are a poplar hors d'oeuvre in the Caribbean.

They can be prepared in advance and kept warm in the oven or made in the morning

and then reheated. Variations include black-eyed peas, soybeans, or your

favorite small beans.
