Ingredients

Instructions

  • Empty can into a sieve.
  • Rinse and drain well.
  • Dump beans out onto a kitchen towel or a few layers of paper towels.
  • Pat beans dry. Be thorough - they need to be as dry as possible.
  • Heat 1/2" of oil in a Dutch oven to 325 F.
  • Working in batches, SLOWLY add the beans to the hot oil. The beans will most likely splatter, especially if they aren't very dry, so keep your face and hands back as you add them to the hot oil.
  • Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Sprinkle with seasoning while they are still hot.
  • Serve hot or cooled.

Notes

Be very careful adding the peas to the hot oil!
