Veggie Patties

• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (or chickpeas)
• 2 zucchini
• 1 carrot
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 14 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

1. Wash and drain the black beans and place in a medium sized bowl.
2. Using a potato masher, crush the beans until they form a paste.
3. Lay out 2 paper towels.
4. Shred zucchini and carrot and place on paper towels.
5. Cover with 2 more paper towels, pressing down to drain off water from veggies.
6. If you find there is still a lot of moisture to them, repeat process.
7. When they no longer release moisture, add to bowl with black beans, along with garlic, tahini, bread crumbs and egg.
8. Use a hand to incorporate all ingredients evenly, squeezing the batter to check stickiness.
9. Add another egg if you find it is too dry, more breadcrumbs if too wet.
10. Warm a saute pan on medium high heat with olive oil in the pan.
11. Once warm, create patties with hands of the vegetable mixture and place on pan.
12. Cook about 5 minutes, until brown, flip, then about 5 minutes more, until brown on other side.
