I love Akara but peeling the peas is a chore if you are working alone
I never fry in olive oil
I prefer peanut or canola

Pealing the skin off the black eye pea can take repeated steps of robing them between your hands and rinsing to allow the skins to float to the top.
I like to eat mine with yogurt.
