Mock Lima Cod Cakes repost of a great recipe of Myrtle's

[Guest guest]

I had to repost Myrtle's recipe. I love these. I

make, brown and freeze. Makes an easy lunch to take

with me and a quick dinner too. I eat them as a side

on the dinner plate or a sandwich. I use frozen

thawed lima beans. Off to make a batch now.

 

 

Mock Lima " Cod " Cakes

 

20 ounces fresh baby lima beans or other shell beans

3 tablespoons butter

1 small onion, minced

1 large garlic clove, minced

1 small green bell pepper, minced

1 egg

1 teaspoon salt

generous grinding of black pepper

1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

1 pinch cayenne pepper, large pinch

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

2/3 cup sieved dry bread crumbs

olive oil for frying

tartar sauce

lemon wedges

 

Steam the beans until just tender, do not overcook.

While the beans are steaming, melt the butter in a

frying pan. Add the onion

and garlic and saute over medium heat until limp. Add

the green pepper, turn up

the heat, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.

When the beans are tender and still bright green,

remove them from the steamer

and run them under cold water to set their color.

Drain well and cool.

Puree the beans and egg in a food processor. The

mixture will look a bit dry.

Scrape into a bowl and add the seasonings and parsley.

Stir in the onion.

Form the mixture into 16 flattened cakes about

2-inches round and 3/4-inch

thick. Press each cake into the bread crumbs.

Refrigerate for at least 30

minutes.

Fry the cakes in olive oil over medium heat until the

crumbs are golden brown.

Serve with a dab of tartar sauce. Squeeze on lots of

lemon.

Serves 6 to 8.

 

 

You get up every morning

From your alarm clock's warning

Take the 8:15 into the city

There's a whistle up above

And people pushin', people shovin'

And the girls who try to look pretty

And if your train's on time

You can get to work by nine

And start your slaving job to get your pay
