Quick Bean Patties

Ingredients
2 x 315g cans lima or butter beans, drained and rinsed
1 large carrot, grated
3 cups dried breadcrumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 tbsp tomato sauce
2 tbsp fresh chives, snipped
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dried breadcrumbs, extra
2 tbsp vegetable oil, if frying

Method
1. Mash 1 can of beans. Add the remaining can of beans, carrot, breadcrumbs, eggs, tomato sauce, chives and black pepper to taste, and mix well to combine.
2. Shape mixture into 6 large patties or 12 smaller patties, using wet hands. Roll patties in dried breadcrumbs to coat and place on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. Heat oil in a non-stick frypan, and cook patties for 4-5 minutes each side, or until golden and heated through. Alternately, heat oven to 180′C, spray patties lightly with oil and bake for 15 minutes, turn and bake for another 15 minutes until golden and heated through.
