Black Beans & Barley... Revisited :-)

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.


Enjoy solo or slice up your favorite fruits to accompany these beauties.

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!
