About

These bean cakes taste best if they are made a day ahead of time and then reheated. The flavours blend better together and the delicate burgers will hold together better. To reheat simply place in a toaster oven for 10 minutes at 300 F

Yield: 8 patties

Place beans in a large bowl and mash. Stir in onion, dill, egg white, 2 tablespoons bread crumbs, garlic, cumin, allspice, cayenne, salt and pepper.
Place remaining bread crumbs in a shallow pan. Measure out 1/4 cup of bean mixture, pat into a thick patty cake and coat both sides with bread crumbs. Repeat until all cakes are formed. Let rest for 10 minutes.
