--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/2           cups  lima beans -- cooked and mashed
  1                cup  soft breadcrumbs
     1/2           cup  finely chopped onion
  2        tablespoons  parsley -- chopped

     1/4      teaspoon  pepper
     1/2      teaspoon  dried ground sage
                        To fry: -- 1/4 cup oil or butter
                        To serve: -- Creole Sauce

Combine your mashed lima beans, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, salt, pepper and sage.
Using your hands, shape your mixture into flat little cakes about the size of a small hamburger. Refrigerate the cakes for 1 hour, during which time you can prepare the Creole sauce.
Sauté your cakes in a skillet, very gently, in oil for about 3 minutes per side. Once they are nicely browned on both sides, they are ready to serve.
Pour the Creole sauce over and enjoy!     

Serves 6

ChupaNote: the original recipe called for bacon fat. I used half olive oil and half butter to fry the bean cakes. I'd double the pepper next time.
