Deep-frying foods in vegetable oil seems like a modern American craze, but it was an ancient cooking tradition in West Africa, and one that we have inherited from enslaved people.
Akara sounds pretty tasty, but that's a bizarre sentence up there.
That strikes me as a generous interpretation, given that the recipe specifically mentions "1-2 cups lard or vegetable oil" in the ingredient list, and the instructions again say "Add lard or oil to a cast-iron skillet."
