Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups red kidney beans, boiled (or may use canned)
3 cups white breadcrumbs, fresh
3 tablespoons butter
1 leek, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
2 green chilies
1/2 onion, finely chopped (or green pepper)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 egg, beaten
salt
pepper
oil, sufficient to shallow fry
4 ounces butter, softened
4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • For the garlic-herb filling, blend all the ingredients for it and chill until ready for use.
  • Melt butter and saute leek and celery.
  • Mash the beans until fairly smooth.
  • Stir in half of the breadcrumbs till well incorporated.
  • Add the bean mixture to the leek and celery, add parsley, green chillies, onion, cayenne, salt and pepper and combine well.
  • Divide the bean mixture into 4 balls.
  • Make a slight depression and insert a slice of garlic-herb filling into the patty; and then mold the mixture so that the filling is completely enclosed.
  • Coat the patties in the beaten egg and roll generously in the remaining breadcrumbs.
  • In a heated skiller, shallow fry the patties for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown.
  • Variation: Instead of a garlic butter filling, you may opt to use a chunk of mozzarella, for a more cheesy variation.
