I’ve really gotten into making patties. They are so easy, healthy, and fun to eat. Almost anything can become a patty. Here’s a new version: Sweet potato black bean. I served these with grilled red pepper, carrot, and yellow squash, as well as homemade guacamole.
Ingredients for the patties:
- 1 can black beans
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 large garnet yam, peeled and finely grated
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 TB cumin
- sea salt
- pepper
- 1 tsp dried cilantro (use fresh if you have it)
- 1/2 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
Sauté the onion in a little olive oil until it starts to soften and turn golden brown. Remove from heat. Rinse and drain the black beans. Put them in a large mixing bowl and mash some of the beans with a fork. Add the garlic, grated yam, onions, and mix well. Then add the cumin, a little salt, pepper, cilantro, and jalapeño. Mix this well so all of the ingredients appear to be evenly distributed. Mix in the egg. Finally, add the cornmeal to thicken the batter up a little.
Cook these patties like pancakes.
