Ingredients
- 1 slice white onion chopped
- 1 each garlic clove chopped
- 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
- ¼ cup water
- 10 oz Fresh red tomatoes roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cups water or chicken broth
- 1 dash salt to taste
- 1 cup Lima beans raw or raw guaje beans
- ¼ med white onion finely chopped
- 1/3 cup romano or queso añejo finely chopped
- 3 whole eggs well beaten
- 1 dash salt
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil as needed for frying
Instructions
- Blend together the onion, garlic, and cumin with the water until smooth. Add the tomatoes a few at a time and blend until smooth. Heat the oil in a heavy pan, add the sauce, and fry until reduced and seasoned--about 8 minutes. Add the water or chicken broth with salt and cook for 5 more minutes. Keep warm while you prepare the fritters.
- Put the whole guaje beans into a bowl, stir in the onion, cheese, and eggs--salt only if necessary, depending on the strength of the cheese. Heat the oil in a skillet--it should be about 1/2 inch deep--and fry large spoonfuls of the mixture over high heat until golden brown on both sides. Drain well.
- Add the fritters to the warm sauce and cook over low heat, turning them over once, until the guajes are cooked inside--about 30 minutes.
