Categories     Bean

Yield 24 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

Black Bean Cakes:
2/3 lb dried black beans (yields 4 cups cooked beans)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves, pressed
1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 large sweet potato, peeled and coarsely grated (2 cups)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
½ cup plain dried breadcrumbs
Lime Sour Cream:
½ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 small jalapeño, finely minced
Cumin, garlic powder, and coarse salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Black Bean Cakes: 1. Pick over beans to remove any debris or withered beans, then soak beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse beans. In a medium covered pot, cook beans in boiling water over medium heat until tender, about one hour. If you decide to use canned beans, use 2 cans low-sodium black beans and rinse them well before proceeding. 2. Heat broiler. In a small skillet, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Cook scallions until softened, 1 minute; then add garlic, jalapeño, and cumin, cooking just until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Transfer to a large bowl. 3. Add cooked beans to bowl; mash with a fork or a potato masher, leaving about ¼ of the beans whole; season generously with salt and pepper. Using clean hands, gently fold in grated sweet potato, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. With your hands, create lacrosse ball-sized mounds (slightly smaller than a tennis ball), and flatten into patties. Be careful not to make the mounds to big, or else the cakes might fall apart when you flatten them. 4. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and brush foil with remaining oil; place patties on sheet, ½ inch apart. Broil 4 inches from heat until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Carefully flip cakes with a thin metal spatula, and broil about 2-3 minutes more. Lime Sour Cream: 1. In a small bowl, combine sour cream with lime juice and jalapeño; add a light dusting of cumin and garlic powder, stir well. Add coarse salt and stir well. Increase amounts of lime juice or spices, as desired.

I don't think I'm going to try this recipe. It doesn't sound very appealing to me.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cakes fell apart when I tried to flip them. I think I might have needed to cook them for longer.

I was really looking forward to trying these cakes, but I was disappointed. They were dry and bland.

These cakes were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll probably make them again with less cayenne pepper next time.

These spicy black bean cakes were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and packed with flavor. I served them with a side of guacamole and salsa, and they were perfect.
