Ingredients

  • 2 cups drained cooked white beans (you may use other canned beans, Save a few tbsp of liquid when you drain the beans) or 2 cups canned white beans (you may use other canned beans, Save a few tbsp of liquid when you drain the beans)
  • 1/2 cup onion, minced fine
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced or 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • salt
  • pepper
  • hot sauce (I like about 2 tbsp to zip them up) (optional)
  • 1/4 cup coarse cornmeal or 1/4 cup fresh breadcrumb
  • peanut oil

Method

  • Heat oven to 200°F.
  • Mash the beans, but do not puree, have a few lumps in here, add a bit of bean water if necessary to even out.
  • Combine the beans, onion, parsley, egg salt& pepper.
  • Add crumbs (I like the crumbs best) or cornmeal by the tbsp until you have a batter that you can handle by hand. Shape into hamburger shaped patties and fry in lightly sprayed oil coated pan, 3-5 minutes each side or until browned on each side. Keep warm in the 200°F oven until all are cooked or you could serve at room temperature.
