Not sure if you just wanted veggies, but these are great!
BLACK BEAN PATTIES WITH CILANTRO AND LIME
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil (I used 2 Tbsp)
1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper (I omitted this)
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper (I used 1 cup)
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper (I used 1/2-2/3 Tbsp)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt (I used about 1/6 tsp)
2 cloves garlic, minced (I used 3 large)
7/8 pound canned black beans, undrained (15 oz can)
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Vegetable cooking spray
2/3 cup salsa (I omitted this - see note below)*
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and next 8 ingredients (onion through garlic); sauté 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Add beans; sauté 1 minute.
Combine bean mixture, breadcrumbs, cornmeal, cilantro, and lime juice in a large bowl; stir well. Place 1 cup bean mixture in a food processor, and process until smooth.
Add pureed bean mixture and cheese to remaining bean mixture; stir well.
Divide mixture into 5 equal portions, (I divided into 6 equal portions), shaping each into 6-inch patty.
Wipe skillet clean with paper towels. Coat skillet with cooking spray, (I used two nonstick skillets with 1 tsp oil in each one), and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add patties, and cook 3 minutes (total) or until browned, turning patties carefully after 1-1/2 minutes.
Serving Ideas : Serve with salsa.
