Submitted by RalMiska

"I'm not a vegetarian, but occasionally I cook vegetarian meals for my dad (He hates them, but they're good for his diabetes!) These are Thai style rissoles, made with black eyed beans, and they're absolutely delicious!"

Nice recipe but I broiled it in a oven and not fried; also I preferred an all-vegetarian recipe so I removed the chicken broth, which is just there for tase and the fish sauce and the eggs. Looks like I took out a lot but really this recipe as posted is a bit over the top -- too rich for my blood. Nice meatball variation though and without the "meats" quite good.
