Granny's Black Eyed Fritters

1/2 lb Black-eyed peas, soaked
4 ea Garlic cloves, crushed
2 tesp
Salt & Black pepper
4 tbs Water
Oil for frying
Lime juice to taste

When peas have softened, rub off skins, soak an additional 30 minutes. Drain & rinse. In a food processor, process peas, garlic, salt & pepper. Add water while continuing to process. Add enough water to get a smooth, thick puree. Preheat oven to 250F. In a large skillet, heat 2 to 3 inches oil & fry 1 tb of the batter till its golden brown. Repeat till all the batter has been fried in this way. Keep in oven to keep hot. Serve piping hot, sprinkled with salt & lime juice.

Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.
