Inspired by the Hubbard Avenue Diner's delicious black bean burger. I went searching for a recipe on the interweb and came back with this one, and it's great.
1 12 oz. can of black beans
1 boiled potato (or throw in microwave for 3 minutes) - any sort, soft enough to mash
1/2 yellow onion, minced
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
2 T chopped cilantro (optional)
juice of 1 lime
1 T cumin
cayenne pepper to taste
1 t salt (optional)
dash o pepper
1/3 cup cornmeal (enough to make mixture patty-formable/hold shape)
1/2 jalepeno (optional)
1 ear of corn - cooked and shaved (optional)
Mash up the majority of the beans and the potato in a bowl using a potato masher. Add the rest of the ingredients and mash together with clean hands (Yes squish it together, OOOH! sensual goo (seriously this is from the original recipe, I chose to keep it for color). Form into patties of desired size and fry em up in plenty of oil until crispy on the outside.
Our favorite addition to this would be a dollop of sour cream or plain non-fat yogurt, a slice of tasty cheese (like Monterey jack) and some salsa on a soft kaiser bun. But you can dress it up however you like. So fast to make and so good.
