I used to go to a Vegatarian Cafe in Bethlehem, PA and they made this dish which is phenomenal. They are VERY guarded about their recipes so I came up with this version which is comparable! I have been having a hard time getting these to stick together while cooking, so I would suggest throwing in an egg or two(?) I haven't tried that yet, but I wll will repost once I do. Ingredients:
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained |
1 eggs or 1 egg, replacement |
1/2-1 cup green onion, chopped fine |
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced fine |
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped fine |
1/2 teaspoon cumin |
1/2 teaspoon oregano |
1/2 teaspoon rosemary |
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional) |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup cooked brown rice |
1/2 cup cornmeal |
olive oil (for frying) or vegetable oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. Mash or puree 1 can black beans and add second can to mashed beans.
2. Add next 9 ingredients (up to pepper) to mixture and mix through.
3. Add brown rice and mix well, then add corn meal and mix well.
4. Heat oil in pan over med-high heat.
5. Take enough of the mixture out to form a large meatball and repeat until all the mixture is gone. Add them to the oil one at a time and fry until all side are crisp. Drain on a paper towel.
6. These can be put into pitas with lettuce, shredded carrots, cucumbers, etc and topped with salsa, or a tofu sour cream.
