Kay's Black Bean Goodness
2 cups black beans cooked or 1 can drained not rinsed
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 large, chopped celery stalk
2-4 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tblsp olive oil
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/3 cup hummus
1/2 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup bread crumbs
Mash or puree half the beans. Add reserved beans and all other ingredients except hummus and bread crumbs. Use a wooden spoon and mix in a large bowl. Add enough hummus to moisten mixture. It usually takes more than 1/3 cup of hummus. With your sticky mixture form patties and coat with bread crumbs on each side. Broil until brown, about 10-15 minutes per side.
Yes, This sounds a little weird. We tried my mom's recipe the other night for the first time. I have to say that it was TASTY!! I ate this black bean creation over a bed of brown rice. GOOD STUFF!! Plenty of fiber and protein. Add a green mixed salad. Give it a shot. My mom usually hit a home run with her recipes. Trainer Todd
