Italian Bean Patties
Beans come in an amazing array of colors, shapes, and flavors. They can be traditionally or quickly prepared, depending on your preference. Until you mash, puree, or fry them, you haven't experienced their versatility.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked beans
1 beaten egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
1 cup dry bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons cornmeal or all purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable-oil
Directions:
- In a large bowl, mash beans. Add egg and spices and stir to mix evenly.
- Stir in bread crumbs. If mixture seems too wet add more breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon at a time until mixture resembles meatloaf.
- Shape into little sausages or patties. Roll in cornmeal or flour.
- Fry slowly in vegetable oil over medium heat until crusty and golden brown.
Notes:
- Serve in place of hamburgers and add toppings
