Akra By: Hendryck Gellineau Ingredients: • Malanga or taro root (3-4 roots should be enough to feed two people) • Thyme • Parsley • Habaneros • any spice mix you’d want; I use: o paprika o garlic salt o garlic powder o seasoned salt o curry powder o cayenne pepper o regular black pepper o crushed dry basil leaves o Mashed garlic cloves Instructions: 1. Peel the root until you get to the kinda slimy surface (this step and the following step are both pretty labor intensive but VERY worth it) 2. Finely grate the root (it should be like a paste) into a bowl with the other ingredients 3. Take a small scoop and fry in a medium heat pan for 3-4 min/side or until golden brown
