SAVORY BEAN PATTIES WITH YOGURT-MUSTARD DRESSING

 

Patties:

3 cups well-cooked beans, any variety (from about 1 1/4 cups raw)

1/2 green bell pepper, minced

2 scallions, minced

2 eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/2 cup wheat germ

1 to 2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash or other salt-free seasoning blend

Canola oil

 

Dressing:

1 cup plain, low-fat yogurt or soy yogurt

2 tablespoon prepared spicy mustard

1/2 teaspoon dried dill

1 tablespoon tahini, optional

 

Mash the beans well in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with remaining

patty ingredients, except oil.

Heat just enough oil to coat the bottom of a large, nonstick skillet.

When sizzling hot, use a ladle to drop patty mixture into skillet to

form 2 to 3-inch patties. Cook on both sides over moderate heat until

nicely browned.

Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and stir until

completely blended. Serve with the warm patties, whether alone or in a

pita..

Makes 6 servings.
