I had a sudden attack of inspiration this afternoon and, after eating ravioli (from frozen food aisle in the local supermarket, not home made) and sandwiches for two days, I boiled a big pot of white cannelini beans and improvised with a hope to make something good. The result was a really tasty bean patties.
Ingredients:
*A large handful of breadcrumbs
*A smallish onion (red is better)
*Fresh herbs (I used parsley)
*One carrot
*One egg
*Approximately 200g dried white beans
*Salt and pepper to taste
*Oil for frying
Method:
Soak the beans overnight, than boil them until they are soft. In a food processor pulse onion, herbs and carrot until everything is finely chopped. Put it in a bowl together with breadcrumbs. Mince the boiled beans in the processor. Add beans to the contents of the bowl, add the egg and mix well with your hands. Shape the mixture in patties. Shallow fry them in a large pan from both sides, until they are nice and brown.
I was really hungry, so I just ate lots of them with tomato sauce and some boiled cauliflower on the side, but, I reckon, they would do as vegetarian burgers just as well. (They deffinately tasted better than Subway vegie patties)
