Morselicious Monday & a meatless recipe

Happy Morselicious Monday!

How did you spend your weekend?
I did a couple demos for Mac-n-Mo’s

and spent time in my TEST KITCHEN.

My sitster, whom I affectionately call Nerd

and she affectionately returns the compliment,

sent a BIG BAG O’ BEANS, which she got at her

Farmer’s Market, with my parents on their recent trip to

L.A. They are Peruano Beans from Peru, and

Machu Picchu, Peru, is on our BUCKET LIST, but I digress.

She asked me, well, more like challenged me, as any “lil” sis would,

“You’re the Morselist – make something MORSELICIOUS with these!”

So, I DID!!! May I present a Morselicious Meatless Monday recipe:

Nerdie’s Yellow Bean Patties

2 Cups Beans, soaked and rinsed (I used Peruano)

4 chopped green onions

1/4 C Morselicious Mix

1.5 tablespoons rosemary

2 tablespoons cilantro OR Italian Parsley

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or hemp oil

Juice of 1 lemon AND 1 lime

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Black & red pepper to taste

Tahini Sauce

2 tablespoons Tahini, (ground up sesame seeds)

Juice of 1/2 lemon and 1/2 lime

1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Black & red pepper to taste

PREP

Place cooked beans, scallions, Morselicious Mix, rosemary and cumin in a food processor or blender. Make sure to scrape the sides, until a thick moist mixture forms. Form into 8 mini patties.

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until golden almost to a crisp, 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 more minutes.

For sauce: Mix tahini, lemon juice, lime juice, parsley and peppers in a small bowl.

Drizzle sauce over patties and serve with mixed greens.

Enjoy your Nerdie Patties while you stare at this stunning photo of Machu Picchu!
