White Bean Patties

Ex-Pat Mama's Note:

These are a good source of protein - I make up the patties in advance and then heat them for breakfast. I took this recipe from the excellent website called the Savvy Vegetarian.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 8.0 patties

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 scallions, chopped fine
• 1 celery rib, chopped fine
• 1 small carrot, chopped fine
• 2 (15 ounce) cans white beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup rice flour

Directions:

1. Heat the oil over medium heat. Stir fry all fresh veggies until soft, 5-10 minutes.
2. Add the sautéed veggies, and all the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the rice flour to a food processor. Combine just until mixed.
3. Add the flour a tablespoon at a time - just until the mixture can be formed into 8 patties.
4. Heat a nonstick fry pan over medium and fry the patties until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes on each side.
