Black Bean Cakes

I borrowed this recipe from Two Crowded Kitchens, it was a surprising hit and I'm sure I'll make it again. I always appreciate a vegitarian recipe since Jeron's cousin is a vegitarian and we often have meatless visitors in our home.

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained.


1 egg, beaten

1 cup shredded carrot

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

1/4 cxup shredded Mexican cheese blend

2 TBSP chili powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tspt ground cumin

2 TBSP olive oil



In a small bowl, mash beans. Add the egg, carrots, bread crumbs, cheese, chili powder, salt, baking powder, and cumin. Mix well. Shape into six patties; brush both sides with oil. Place on a baking sheet.



Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with fresh salsa. Yum!
