Preparation

Step 1

If using dry beans, cover the beans with water in a bowl, and soak overnight in a cool or refrigerated place.

After draining the beans, peel off the outer skins. In a food processor, pulse beans until they are finely pureed. Place pureed beans in a bowl. In the same food processor, add the onion, garlic, parsley, apple cider vinegar and water; process until finely blended. Stir the onion mixture, spices, cornmeal and flour into the bean puree. Put the mixture into the refrigerator for 1/2 hour.

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Using a tablespoon, drop the mixture into the oil, and fry on each side until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on
paper towels.
