Did you fill a bowl with them in it with water and rub a handful of them briskly between your palms? The skins should come right off and float to the top. Some people say to soak them longer, but I've never found that necessary, and in fact, heard that it makes for a wetter dough, which is not something you want for akara.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554083006239895938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22088449.post-28400103109493940092010-02-16T21:07:41.387-05:002010-02-16T21:07:41.387-05:00Tried to get the skins off the peas -no luck.
