Last week we ventured outside our normal dinners for a recipe that Janie found. Black Bean Patties with Corn Relish and Avocado Cream Sauce
It looked quite interesting, so a week before we picked up the appropriate groceries. Tim decided to take pictures during the prep and cooking, so here we go…
First, the cooking involved blending a bean, red pepper, egg and other stuff combination.
The recipe called for a chipotle chile in adobe sauce which we didn’t have…but we did have an OLD dried chipotle chile, which we revived as best we could in boiling water.
This chile was chopped and added to the blender. Next some smushed beans and other stuff was mixed.
The blended bean combo was added, or poured, into the mixture.
And then stirred and chilled.
Meanwhile, corn for the corn salsa was warmed up.
Then mixed with other stuff to make the corn salsa.
We were also going to make the avocado sauce. Unfortunately we found out the hard way about the short shelf life of avocados. Lots of not-so-ripe parts on the inside of this one, so we scrapped plans for the sauce.
Once the bean mixture was done chilling, it was time to make patties….something fun to do by hand.
And then they were cooking on the stove. Looking good…
Here’s an up-close shot of the final product, topped with the corn salsa.
Time to eat!!
They were excellent! We will do them again.
