Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained well
6 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped seeded red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced seeded jalapeño chili
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 large egg
2 tablespoons plus 1 cup yellow cornmeal
6 tablespoons (about) olive oil
Sour cream
Purchased salsa

Steps:

  • Place drained beans in large bowl. Using hand masher, mash beans coarsely. Mix in green onions, bell pepper, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño and cumin. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in egg and 2 tablespoons cornmeal.

I'm not a big fan of black beans, but these cakes were delicious! The combination of spices and the crispy texture was perfect.

These cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I thought these cakes were just okay. They were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm a big fan of black beans, so I was excited to try this recipe. The cakes were delicious, but I found them to be a bit dry. I think I'll add some more moisture next time, maybe some chopped onion or bell pepper.

These cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I'll probably use less chili powder next time.
