Description

These are really delicious, especially when served with sour cream or the homemade sauce included in this recipe! They are great for Chinese New Year.

Ingredients
  • 3 cups dry black beans
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
Directions
  1. 1. Place black beans in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour, or until tender.
  2. 2. In an electric blender or food processor, process black beans until smooth. Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and cilantro; blend. Roll the mixture into balls, allowing 3 tablespoons of mixture per ball.
  3. 3. Place balls between sheets of wax paper and press down on the wax paper to form 1/8 inch thick rounds.
  4. 4. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet. Fry the cakes 2 or 3 minutes per side.
  5. 5. In a bowl, combine yogurt, milk, and cayenne pepper (to taste). Serve the sauce over the hot black bean cakes.
