Directions
Koos, Nigerian Bean Cakes This is a recipe from my husband’s step mum who lived in Nigeria for 15 years Cooking time does not include soaking The koose will expand a little during frying Start with small scoops and adjust if necessary The batter will be thin , Absolutley 100% authentic – I lived in Africa when I was little, and I remember a friend of my mum making something like these – I LOVED them then, as I do now! As my mum is a vegetarian, I made these one night for her, whilst the rest of us chomped away on steak and chicken!! However, she had to fight us meat eaters off them – a great recipe and VERY tasty – we loved the heat, but added some salt and pepper, and then the seasoning was just right! No photos – as I see you have one of Engrossed’s famous photos I did not like to take over!! Made for ZWT4 – a keeper for us! Merci! FT:-), Different! I made this recipe for the Photo recipe tag game I was intrigued by using soaked but uncooked black-eyed peas Unfortunately it wasn’t thick enough to drop in the oil without breaking apart so I had to add quite a bit of garbanzo bean flour They turned out a plain in flavor with an interesting texture from the uncooked black-eyed peas They were better with Thai chili sauce Thanks for the adventure! *I ran into several recipes just like this in some African cookbooks and they basically say to do the same thing, although some say to let it sit a couple of hours after pureeing They also use the same ingredients and uncooked soaked beans I’m thinking using an electric mixer might fluff it up more? used a hand whisk and must not have the whisking talent I would like to see someone make them right
