This recipe serves: 4
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Ingredients
1/2 cup roasted red pepper vinaigrette
1 cup dried black beans
1 large yellow onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ***in
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Cooking Instructions
1. Place the beans in a colander and rinse with cold running water.
Pick over the beans and remove any stones or foreign objects. Place
the beans in a clean pot, cover with fresh water and soak for at least
4 hours or preferably overnight. Drain the beans.
2. Place the beans, onion, pepper, garlic, pepper, ***in, coriander
seeds, salt and cayenne pepper in a large pot. Cover with water, bring
to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the beans are tender, about 1
hour. Drain the liquid from the beans and reserve for later use.
3. Divide the cooked beans in half. Place one ****tion in a large
saucepan and add 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Cook over
medium heat until the beans are very soft, about 30 minutes; if
necessary, add in liquid while cooking.
4. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid, and place in a large
mixing bowl. Mash the beans with a fork until they are smooth and
fluffy. If the mixture is too thick, dilute with some of the reserved
bean cooking liquid. Blend in the reserved ****tion of the beans with a
spoon and allow the mixture to cool.
5. Form the bean mixture into 8 individual cakes.
6. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add 2
bean cakes at a time and gently sauté on both sides, cooking for about
1 minute on each side.
7. Warm the vinaigrette. Place 2 cakes on each plate and spoon the
vinaigrette over and around the cakes.
