Caritas aka black-eyed pea fritters
Fritters
A good friend who came to this country from Cuba a number of years ago told me how to make these. She is one of the best overall cooks I know, but I have a particular fondness for her creations from Cuban and Spanish cuisines. The black-eyed peas are soaked in advance, but they do not undergo the water-based cooking usually used for legumes. According to my broken Spanish, caritas means something like "little darlings." My friend also refers to these as bollitos (little balls).
