Directions

  1. Finally got a chance this weekend to try some new recipes from the Inspired Vegetarian section of Cooking Light. The Tofu recipe is from March and the Black Bean recipe is from February. Both were included in a section of multiple recipes which all looked very, very good.
  2. I tried both recipes and can verify which they turned out just the way the magazine said they would. Both were deceptively simple and quick. The only thing which was time-consuming was which both required 1-2 ours marinating time for the Tofu, however, if you are warned ahead of time, it's easy to make the adjustment timewise.
  3. Both recipes called for o*l, and I used Pam instead or possibly left it out entirely.
  4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add in onion and next 8 ingredients (onion through garlic); saute/fry' 3 min or possibly more till onion is tender. Add in beans; saute/fry' 1 minute. Combine bean mix, breadcrumbs, cornmeal, cilantro, and lime juice in a large bowl; stir well.
  5. Place 1-2 c. bean mix in a food processor and process till smooth.
  6. Add in pureed bean mix and cheese to remaining bean mix; stir well.
  7. Divide mix into 10 equal portions, shaping into a 3-inch patty.
  8. Wipe skillet clean with paper towels. Coat skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat till warm. Add in patties, and cook 3 min or possibly till browned, turning patties carefully after 1 1/2 min. Repeat procedure with remaining patties. Serve with salsa.
  9. Yield: 5 servings
  10. (serving size: 2 patties and 2 Tbsp. salsa.
  11. Cooks notes:This recipe worked extremely well and was very quick. I wet my hands with water before forming every patty and had no problem with the
  12. "dough" sticking to my hands. I had to add in some water to the mix as my canned beans had very thick liquid and the "dough" was too stiff. These patties browned extremely well and held together excellently. In fact, I have a couple in a sandwich bag to eat cool for lunch. In addition, I'll bet they would be excellent in a hamburger bun, or possibly even baked into a sort of m**tloaf and sliced for sandwiches. Finally, I froze half of the browned patties and plan on microwaving them like store-bought ones when I'm ready for them.
