Bean patties

Bean patties ready for frying

15 oz garbanzo beans, drained
0.75 c fine bread crumbs
1 small carrot, grated
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 T fresh parsley
1 large egg
0.5 t salt
0.25 t cumin
0.125 t cayenne pepper
2 t olive oil

Coarsely mash beans. Add all other ingredients except the oil. Form 4 patties. Heat the oil in a cast iron pan on medium heat. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes in each side.

The patties did not crumble during frying or eating.

I used fresh Swiss chard in place of parsley.
