Red Bean Patties
4 c. cooked red or pink
beans, drained
4 green onions, sliced
thin
1/2 red bell pepper,
chopped
1/2 c. chopped fresh
parsley
1/4 tsp. cayenne
Tabasco to taste
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
About 1/2 c. apple fiber
In a food processor or blender, combine beans, onions, red pepper, parsley,
cayenne, Tabasco, thyme, garlic powder, and 1/4 cup of the apple fiber.
Process until smooth. Place remaining apple fiber in a shallow bowl. Dipping
your hands in the apple fiber, shape the bean puree into patties about 2 1/2
inch diameter and 3/4 inch thick. Spray a skillet with Pam or Baker's Joy and
heat. Cook patties for 5 minutes on each side. Serve the patties like burgers
on whole bread buns with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, barbecue sauce,
or mustard.
