Spicy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Patties
Black beans and sweet potatoes are spiced with chillies, cumin and garlic, then grilled for a great vegetarian main or burger. They can also be fried. These black beans are not the Asian black beans in sauce but the Latin American-style black beans.

- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 green chillies, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin

- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 280g grated raw sweet potato
- 1 egg, lightly beaten

- To prepare Lime Sour Cream Dressing, mix the sour cream, lime juice, chilli and salt together in a small bowl. Cover and chill.
- To make the patties, heat half the olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Cook spring onions until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in garlic, chillies and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer onion mixture to a large bowl. Stir in black beans and mash with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add sweet potato, egg and breadcrumbs to form a stiff mixture. Divide into 8 balls, and flatten into patties.
- Preheat grill. Lightly grease baking tray with the remaining oil.
- Place patties on the tray and grill for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn cakes over, and grill until crisp, about 3 minutes more. Serve with Lime Sour Cream Dressing.

Used different ingredients. I brought this to a very foodie bring-a-dish party and it was the first dish gone. People loved it! I added about a 1/4c chopped red capsicum and a small can of diced green chillis which i think was perfect. Also to the lime sour cream i added a bout a 1/2 tablespoon chopped coriander and a couple tablespoons finely chopped red capsicum for colour. - 29 Sep 2008
