Mexican Bean Cakes Preparation
Description: Take leftover pot beans, strain, dry, coarsely mash, and form into pattie. Brown the pattie until crunchy. See Pat”s Variation with cheese and cornmeal. PANTRY: See the recipe for Pot Beans from the Mexican Table and prepare beans of your choice. One jalapeno may be substituted for the serrano. Use a light vegetable oil but add a little peanut oil to flavor. Coarsely mash the beans. Remove half and set aside. Puree the remaining half. Combine beans, onion, chilies, cumin and salt. Form into patties, about 1/4 cup each. Heat half the oil in a large heavy skillet. Put as many patties in the skillet as will fit in a single uncrowded layer and fry over fairly high heat until golden and toasty, and a little crispy (about 1 to 1-1/2 minute per side). Transfer to a platter. Continue until all the patties are fried adding more oil to the skillet as necessary. Serve hot, topped with a little salsa (the smaller diced salsa works better than the chunky). Top with a teaspoon (touch) of sour cream. PAT”S VARIATION: Put patties on non-stick cookie sheet and bake, in a preheated oven, at 425F for about 10 to 12 minutes, until heated through and starting to crisp. Arrange on a platter. Mix a little sweet corn meal (from a mix like Jiffy or Marie Callendar) with finely shredded jack, cheddar or colby cheese. Let that melt then dab with a little drained salsa and sour cream. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. (1995) ISBN 0-8118-0475-5 Chronicle Books, San Fran. (1996 Nov) Pat H. McRecipe, Riverside.
