The Slow Cooker Black Beans & Barley recipe yielded quite a bit more than anticipated so I decided to play a little. It turns out the mix makes for a delightfully earthy breakfast patty or lunch. Sorry, folks, but we just left vegetarian territory. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- leftover Black Bean & Barley mix - cold
- light oil of choice for frying
- 1-3 eggs
- 1-2 cups seasoned Panko
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Everything Bagel seasoning - optional
Preparation:
Set up the egg dip and Panko and heat oil in a non-stick skillet.
Shape enough patties to feed everyone.
Dredge through egg and Panko and fry until golden brown on each side.
I never like anything to go to waste, so the second option after breaded patties is to mix remaining egg and Panko with some more bean/barley mix. Add some scallions or whatever you think will elevate the mix... maybe some minced bell pepper... and fry over medium high heat basically to add a bit of a crisp to the formed patties.
A bit of grated Parmesan gave mine a little extra zing. :-)
Blessed be... and happy cooking!
