BLACK BEAN CAKES (ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA)



Black Bean Cakes (Antigua and Barbuda) image

This recipe is from week eleven of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Antigua and Barbuda is my eleventh stop. I found this recipe to be a little tricky to pull off because of the way the cakes are fried, but alternatively you can just cook them like refried beans and top them with the salsa and yogurt, which is what really makes the dish.

BLACK BOTTOM BEAN CAKES WITH PAPAYA SALSA



Black Bottom Bean Cakes with Papaya Salsa image

At the turn of the century, the black bottom was a dance done by African Americans in the rural South. By the 1920s and the Jazz Age, it was so popular that it was featured in the Ziegfeld Follies. This dish, like that dance, has a similarly universal appeal. When I go out with a bunch of friends, we like to share dishes, and you don't want just a bunch of meat on the table. But at home, it can be hard to break the habit of one big protein dish and a bunch of classic veggie sides. This one is simple: black beans made into cakes with cumin and cilantro, onions, and our mirepoix. The papaya salsa is the highlight, and again I can't stay away from the bird's-eye chile. It reminds me of the homemade hot sauce that sat on every table of my parents' extended community of Caribbean family and friends.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
Kosher salt
1/2 cup diced poblano pepper
1/4 cup diced scallions
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
Pinch of smoked paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 cups canned black beans (rinsed and drained), pulsed in a food processor until chunky
1 1/2 cups panko
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 cup Papaya Salsa (recipe follows)
One 10-ounce package plantain chips
1 small ripe papaya, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 red bell peppers, finely diced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 red onion, finely diced
1 bird's-eye chile, minced
5 scallions, grilled until tender and slightly charred, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped basil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, sprinkle with salt, and cook, stirring, until translucent around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the poblano pepper and scallions and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the cumin, cayenne, and paprika and let the spices toast for 2 additional minutes, then stir in the cilantro. Remove from the heat and place vegetables in a bowl.
  • Add the black beans and 1/2 cup of the panko to the sautéed vegetables. Fold to combine, taste, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Form six 3-inch patties and follow the steps for preparing the patties for frying:
  • Flour: Put the flour in a flat dish (like a shallow bowl or pie plate) and dredge the patties until evenly coated, then shake off the excess flour.
  • Egg wash: Crack the eggs into a medium flat dish and whisk. Dip the flour-coated patties into the egg wash and cover on all sides.
  • Breading: Press the flour and egg-coated patties into a third tray of the remaining panko. Shake off the excess and place on a baking sheet while prepping the rest of the patties.
  • Heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  • Place patties in the pan without overcrowding and fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Serve with the salsa and plantain chips.
  • Gently mix together all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Store in a covered nonreactive container. Makes 4 cups.

Tips:

  • For gluten-free black bean cakes, use gluten-free oats or almond flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • To make the cakes more crispy, pan-fry them in a little bit of oil until golden brown.
  • If you don't have any mole sauce, you can use a store-bought enchilada sauce or salsa as a substitute.
  • For a vegetarian version of the cakes, omit the chorizo from the recipe.
  • Serve the black bean cakes with a variety of toppings, such as guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, or a fried egg.

Conclusion:

Black bean cakes with mole salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cakes are packed with protein and fiber, and the mole salsa adds a rich and flavorful sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
