Bean fritters
Burkina Faso benga bean fritters with onion leaves, chilli and garlic.
About Bean fritters
These bean fritters follow Clarisse Ilboudo’s city-style beignets, published by Synergie Burkina. The account places both urban and village fritters within Burkina Faso’s traditional cooking, while distinguishing their recipes.
White benga beans form the base, with onion leaves, chilli and garlic providing the aromatic flavour. Potasse is the named culinary alkali in the batter.
The fritters are fried portions of a ground bean mixture. Onion leaves and the other aromatics are incorporated into the batter, rather than offered as separate garnishes.
