List of Ingredients




Oil for the pan
3 scallions, sliced (half a bunch)
4 garlic cloves passed through a press
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped, with seeds and ribs removed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
Salt and pepper
1/2 sweet potato, grated
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup breadcrumbs


Recipe



Warm the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook for about a minute until they're soft. This will only take about a minute. Add the scallions, garlic and cumin and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Place this mixture into a large bowl.


Add the beans and mash the mixture with the back of a fork, mashing about 75% of the beans, but leaving some of them whole for texture. Season with salt and pepper. Add in the rest of the ingredients. Divide into 8 balls and flatten them between the palms of your hands into patties.


Lay the patties on a greased cookie sheet and broil on one side for about 8 minutes. Carefully flip, then broil on the other side for about 3 minutes more. If you're my sister and using that rip-roaring hot broiler of yours, the total time will be 3 minutes, and you won't be able to flip. They'll still be good.
