Black Bean Fritters

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Place all black beans from the can into a bowl. Lightly mash the beans using a fork until a thick, yet still highly texturized consistency forms (see note 1).

Step 2

Into the bowl with the beans, crack in one large egg, mix to combine.

Step 3

Add 1 tsp of plain flour and 2 tsp of whole wheat flour into the mixture, mix.

Step 4

Add cumin, chilli, parsley, salt and pepper and mix well until combined.

Step 5

In a pan, heat up oil on medium to high heat. Once hot, add four tablespoon sized dollops of the bean mixture. Shape using a spoon to make each fritter circular.

Step 6

Allow to cook each fritter on one side for 1-2 minutes on medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once each fritter is easily able to slide along the base of the pan and keep its shape, flip.

Step 8

After flipping each fritter, add a pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese (see note 2) onto the top of each. Cover with lid and cook on medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is just melted, then remove from the pan.

Step 9

Repeat until you use all of the batter mixture.

Step 10

Serve warm.
