Kidney Bean Kiev

Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 3 cups red kidney beans, boiled (or may use canned)
• 3 cups white breadcrumbs, fresh
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 leek, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 2 green chilies
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped (or green pepper)
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• salt
• pepper
• oil, sufficient to shallow fry

Directions

• 1 For the garlic-herb filling, blend all the ingredients for it and chill until ready for use.
• 2 Melt butter and saute leek and celery.
• 3 Mash the beans until fairly smooth.
• 4 Stir in half of the breadcrumbs till well incorporated.
• 5 Add the bean mixture to the leek and celery, add parsley, green chillies, onion, cayenne, salt and pepper and combine well.
• 6 Divide the bean mixture into 4 balls.
• 7 Make a slight depression and insert a slice of garlic-herb filling into the patty; and then mold the mixture so that the filling is completely enclosed.
• 8 Coat the patties in the beaten egg and roll generously in the remaining breadcrumbs.
• 9 In a heated skiller, shallow fry the patties for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown.
• 10 Variation: Instead of a garlic butter filling, you may opt to use a chunk of mozzarella, for a more cheesy variation.
