Coconut Black Bean Cakes
combine:
3C. cooked Black Beans, cooled
2 eggs
1/3 C rolled oats
1/4 C. gluten free flour (I like Bob's Red Mill)
1 medium sweet onion, diced
a few mushrooms, grated
large handful spinach or kale, chopped
few garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp turmeric (ground)
1 tsp coriander (ground)
1/2 tsp mustard seed (ground)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chipotle
pinch nutmeg
1tsp baking powder (optional)
sea salt, fresh pepper to taste


combine and let mixture sit for a few minutes...
mixture should just come together to form a shaggy dough, similar to biscuits,
adjust flours, or eggs if necessary...

form into burgers, ~1/2" thick,
dredge in dried coconut

pan fry in neutral oil (I like grapeseed) until golden on both sides,
