ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1⁄2 cup chopped celery
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne, to taste
- salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 1⁄2 cups cooked beans
- 1⁄2 cup cold cooked white rice or 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
- 1⁄4 cup blanched almond
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1⁄2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
directions
- The beans can be pinto, kidney, or other red beans or you can use one 15 ounce can of these. They should be cooked.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the next 7 ingedients. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Season with the salt and the pepper to taste. Set aside to cool.
- In a food processor, combine the beans, rice, parsley, and sautéed onion mixture. Season with the salt and pepper if needed. Then pulse to blend. Do not make a paste. You want some texture. Then shape into patties and set aside.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the bean cakes and cook until browned. Turn and cook until browned on the other side. 7 to 10 minutes total. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
- Place the almonds and shallots in a blender and grind into a paste then add the coconut milk and season if needed. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring, until hot.
- Transfer the bean cakes to a platter, pour the sauce over them, and serve.

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review.
Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore.
I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck.
Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine.
No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
