Vegetarian Black Bean Cakes W/ Chunky Salsa-Sour Cream Topping
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 egg white, beat it lightly
- 2 green onions, finely chopped (both white & green parts)
- 14 cup minced fresh cilantro, plus
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, set aside for salsa
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 14 teaspoon dried oregano
- 14 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 12 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 12 cup chunky salsa
- 14 cup low-fat sour cream
- Put the rinsed beans into a large bowl (just a few at a time) and mash them with a fork.
- Stir the egg white in, along with the chopped green onions, the cilantro EXCEPT for the extra 2 Tbls., the chili powder, oregano and the cumin.
- Mix all ingredients together well, then shape into either four large or eight small (2-1/2-in.)
- patties.
- Lightly spray a small non-stick skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Heat the 4 teaspoons of oil in the skillet, then fry the small patties or larger cakes in batches for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly browned.
- In a small bowl, mix together the corn, the chunky salsa and the 2 tablespoons of the reserved minced fresh cilantro.
- The sour cream can be used as a garnish on top of the salsa, OR you can blend it into the salsa and cilantro, as I did.
- It's not quite as showy this way, but if you have someone who isn't fond of cilantro, the sour cream helps to disguise it.
- Prep and cooking time total 25 minutes.
