Akara (Nigerian Bean Cakes)
Let's bring it back to our roots. Growing up, we'd have Akara (Nigerian Bean Cakes) often. These bean cakes, fried to a golden hue, are perfect for breakfast or for a midday snack! These delicious bean cakes hail from West Africa, and they’re considered a delicacy for very good reason. They are made with freshly soaked beans and a variety of spices to create a simple, delicious snack. Normally paired with a custard made from corn, Akara are hearty yet fluffy golden medallions that are supremely yummy. Akara is naturally gluten-free... why experiment with tried-and-true tradition?
