Bean Cakes - tubeN2 - 01-26-2007
1 recipe Boiled Pinto Beans, well drained
1 medium white onion, minced
2 serrano chiles, stemmed and minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 cup fresh tomato salsa
1 cup Crema
Mash the beans to a textured purée with a food processor or potato masher. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the onion, chiles, cumin and salt. Using 1/4 cup of the bean mixture, make 3 x 1/2-inch patties.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy skillet. Put as many patties in the skillet as will fit in a single uncrowded layer and fry over fairly high heat until golden and toasted, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a platter. Fry remaining patties.
Sprinkle each patty with salsa, then drizzle Crema over. Serve immediately.
