Preparation

Step 1

1. On a small plate, set aside flour for coating. In a medium saucepan, sauté the onion, garlic, oregano, and hot peppers in oil on medium-high heat until the onions are translucent. Add the peppers and sauté another 2 minutes, until pepper is tender. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a potato masher or fork. Stir in the vegetables (including the corn), breadcrumbs, cumin, salt, chili powder, and parsley. Mix well. Divide and shape into 6 patties.

3. Lay down each patty in flour, coating each side. Cook on a lightly oiled frying pan on medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes or until browned on both sides.



***********************
Delicious! I cooked the beans and wasn't sure about the liquid. I dipped a 1 cup measure into the pot and got a portion with some liquid, but not much. Used Matzo meal as that was open. Formed patties, placed on non stick foil, refrigerated them and baked for 20 min. Perfect patties. no flour/oil.
