Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the fritter ingredients
- Rinse the black-eyed peas.
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Set aside the green parts for the slaw.
- Zest the lemon; save the zested lemon for another use.
- Strip a handful of cilantro leaves from the stems and set aside for the slaw; coarsely chop the remaining cilantro leaves and stems.
2
Make the fritter patties
In a large bowl, combine the black-eyed peas, smoky fritter blend, white parts of the scallions, chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Using a fork, masher, or the bottom of a bowl, mash the peas to a coarse paste. Using wet hands, form the mixture into four [eight] ½-inch-thick patties. Place in the refrigerator or freezer until firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the cabbage-carrot slaw.
3
Make the cabbage-carrot slaw
In a large bowl, stir together the lemon-tahini dressing and as much sambal oelek as you like. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the cabbage, carrots, green parts of the scallions, and whole cilantro leaves and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Dredge and cook the fritters
- On a plate or in a shallow bowl, season the cornmeal with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.
- Dredge the fritters one at a time in the cornmeal, turning to coat; shake off any excess.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 4 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the fritters and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Serve
Transfer the cabbage-carrot slaw to individual bowls and top with the fritters. Serve any remaining sambal oelek on the side.
