Recipe from The Kind Diet cookbook

Black-Eyed Pea Croquettes with Dijon Glaze

2 cups black-eyed peas, soaked overnight in water to cover

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 tablespoon shoyu (soy sauce)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

2 cups safflower oil for frying

Dipping sauce:

1/2 cup barley malt syrup or rice syrup

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

Drain the beans and transfer to food processor. Add parsley or cilantro, salt, shoyu, and cumin. Blend until the beans are chopped to fine shreds, but don't blend them to a pulp. Form the beans into football/UFO shaped croquettes in your hands.Heat oil in skillet. Place 4 croquettes in oil (oil should bubble furiously) and fry for about 4 minutes on each side.

To make dipping sauce, stir together the barley malt syrup and mustard in a small saucepan. Warm the sauce over low heat until it bubbles. Serve warm alongside dipping sauce.
