Ingredients:
* 1/3 fresh onion, chopped
* 1 Tbsp olive oil
* 1 healthy Tbsp minced garlic
* 1 can red (or kidney) beans
* 1 can pinto beans
* 1 can purple hull peas (field peas or black eyed peas will do)
* 1/2 tsp celery salt
* 1 tsp paprika
* 1 tsp cumin
* 1/2 tsp oregano
* 1/2 tsp coriander
* 1/2 tsp salt
* cracked fresh black pepper
* 1 tsp lemon juice, dash hot sauce, rice flour ,more olive oil
Directions:
Open cans of beans, and strain well. Sautee' Chopped fresh onion and minced garlic with oil in a regular sized saute pan (11" etc). Stir often until onion cooked. This will be just enough to keep the onion and garlic from burning without making the bean cakes too runny. Set aside to cool. When beans well drained, place into food processor and add onion and garlic. Puree'. You can do a portion at a time, or all at once and mix frequently. The beans will want to cling to the blade, so make sure to mix often.
Once mixture is blended, form into patties and dust with rice flour (for Gluten free).
Saute bean cakes in original pan used for onion and garlic, using enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Let the bean cakes cook for a couple of minutes on each side to form a crispy crust. (The bean cakes might stick a little, that is to be expected.)
Once cooked, let them a cool a bit.
