Oldways African Heritage Recipe

Looking for a delicious new way to prepare your beans during this period of home quarantines and home cooking? Accara are crispy black-eyed pea fritters that are a popular street food in West Africa. The star ingredient is dried black-eyed peas—an affordable pantry staple to have on hand when trips to the supermarket are limited.
