New Year's Recipe, Kala

Kala is a snack tradition in my family that was originally only eaten around New Year’s eve. It's a lot of work, but now I make small portions of it every week. I also adapted the recipe a bit to make it more like a savory bread snack that I can take with me all week. My recipe is no longer vegetarian, because I add bacon or sausage and cheese.

Ingredients Kala

Original Ingredients

• Black eyed peas

• Chili pepper (promente pika)

My added Ingredients

• Bacon or sausage

• Cheese

Traditional Kala Recipe

• Select the beans, wash them and leave them to soak in a cool place for about 8 hours

• Peel the beans

• Grind the promente clean

• Grind the beans together with the promente

• Put the ground mixture in a deep bowl. Beat until a white frothy mass is formed

• Heat the oil

• Slide the mixture into the pan with a spoon

• Fry the Kala in the fat and let it become golden brown.

My Weekly Recipe For Kala

 I add bacon or sausage and cheese to the original recipe. I don't soak a whole bag of black eyed beans, just a little bit. Just enough for a savory snack any day of the week. And I don't bake it, I put it in the oven. I call it bean bread on X.
