  • Use a food processor to grind the beans: A food processor is the easiest way to grind the beans until they are smooth. You can also use a blender, but it may take a little longer.
  • Season the cakes well: White beans have a mild flavor, so it's important to season the cakes well. Use a variety of herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the cakes over medium heat: Cooking the cakes over medium heat helps to prevent them from burning. It also allows the cakes to cook evenly throughout.
  • Serve the cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: White bean cakes are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
