I’ve made these twice inward the by calendar week. They are such a dandy snack or repast on acme of a salad. Super healthy besides.
The smashed mung beans function cracking every bit a binding agent for the cakes as well as the quinoa gets crispy too golden dark-brown on the exterior likewise every bit the crunchy panko staff of life crumbs. They are a lilliputian bit spicy, and then feel gratuitous to back off on the scarlet pepper chip or chili powder. Or, you lot can purpose your ain blend of spices!
Make 8-ten cakes, depending on the size.
one ane/ii cups cooked mung beans, smashed (If you want to function smashed black beans or chickpeas, those go keen inwards this too!)

Add patently breadcrumbs, both eggs, smoked paprika, cumin, chili pulverisation, basil, oregano thyme, garlic pulverization, cerise pepper fleck, table salt, too pepper. Combine too mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or your hands (I detect hands function amend). Form into patties, the size of your choice. I brand mine nigh ii inches broad, one/2-iii/4 inward. thick).
Next, combine panko breadcrumbs in addition to cornmeal into a rimmed plate or bowl, as well as season amongst table salt too pepper. Dip patties to coat inward panko cornmeal mixture.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat alongside well-nigh ii-iii T. olive crude oil. Saute cakes ii-iii minutes per side until gilt chocolate-brown as well as crispy on the outside.
