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