peppery - the Creole seasoning brings out the full flavor of the dish
and is complemented so well by the lime-peppered Mayo!

Black-Bean Cakes with Lime-Peppered “Mayo”
Ingredients
For the black-bean cakes
30 oz. cooked blacked beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup bread crumbs made from wheat-free bread
2 Tbsp. vegan butter, softened (try Earth Balance)
2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp. chopped shallots
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. Creole seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup canola oil (we used olive oil)
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Place the beans on paper towels to soak up the excess moisture. Bake the beans on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes. Let cool.
In a food processor, combine the beans, bread crumbs, vegan butter,
cilantro, shallots, garlic, Creole seasoning, salt and pepper.
Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Form the bean mixture into patties. Heat the oil in a skillet over
medium heat. Fry the cakes for 4 minutes, until browned and crispy, then
flip
and cook on the other side. Drain on paper towels
For the lime-peppered “Mayo”
1 cup of vegan mayonnaise (try Vegenaise)
1 1/2 tsp. fresh lime juice
1 jalapeño pepper, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Mix the vegan mayonnaise, the lime
juice and the jalapeño in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and
refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve with the black-bean cakes.
Makes 6 to 7 servings
