Black Bean Cakes

[Guest guest]

Going through some of my recipes and this is not tried and true, but I

thought it sounded awfully good.

 

6 ½ cups black beans

½ cup salsa

½ cup diced red onion

1 red bell pepper, diced

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 cups bread crumbs

1 tablespoon diced jalapeño peppers

½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce

1 teaspoon Tabasco jalapeño sauce

2 cups crushed tortilla chips

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon coriander

2 tablespoons olive oil

 

Rinse black beans in cold water. Place in a colander and drain well. Add all

ingredients except tortilla chips, cumin, coriander, and olive oil to a mixing

bowl. Blend well with hands, mashing some of the beans to form a thick

mixture. Form into 3-ounce patties and set aside. Using a food processor, blend

tortilla chips, cumin, and coriander until it is a crumb consistency. Dredge

each

bean patty in the tortilla mixture. Heat oil in large skillet and sauté bean

cakes over medium-high heat, turning when they are golden brown. Serves 4.
