CUBAN BLACK BEAN PATTIES
This is my adaptation of a recipe from Cooking Light Magazine (03/07). These black bean burgers are a delicious vegetarian entree and reheat very well in a toaster oven or in a pan. I recommend serving them with rice, greens, salsa and sour cream. Be careful to fully drain the beans and cook the patties long enough so that they will stay together.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use dried black beans instead of canned beans. Soaking and cooking the beans from scratch will give them a deeper, richer flavor.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the beans by hand with a potato masher or fork. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth, with no large chunks remaining.
- If you want a spicier patty, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the bean mixture.
- You can also add other ingredients to the bean mixture, such as chopped vegetables, herbs, or spices. Get creative and experiment with different flavors!
- Serve the black bean patties with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
