Black Bean Cakes With Avocado Corn Salsa Recipe 445

CORN BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Add everything to a large bowl. Stir. Taste and add more salt/pepper/cayenne as needed.
• Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to 1 day before enjoying. I find its flavor is best after an hour or so. (The lime juice and red onion keeps the avocado from turning brown.)

BLACK BEAN CAKES

Steps:

• Place half the rinsed beans in a blender or food processor with the broth and puree into a paste. Add more liquid if needed. Mix together the bean paste with the reserved whole beans in a mixing bowl.
• In a nonstick skillet, add the teaspoon of oil (or chorizo) onions, garlic, red pepper and jalapeno and cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the cumin and chili powder and continue to cook another minute. Remove from heat and let cool a bit.
• Combine the sauteed vegetables with the beans. Add the egg white, cornmeal, lime juice, cilantro. Let stand for 5-8 minutes to begin softening the cornmeal and allow the flavors to combine.
• Form the mix into eight equal sized cakes.
• Spray a non-stick skillet over medium high heat with cooking spray. Add the bean cakes to the skillet and cook until browned, just a minute or so on each side.
• Combine the salsa with the yogurt and sour cream.
• Serve the bean cakes with a dollop of the dairy/salsa topping and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
