Ingredients

• 1 19oz can White Beans
• 1 teaspoon Fresh Sage, finely chopped
• 1 small Carrot, finely grated
• 1/2 Shallot
• 1/2 cup Cornmeal
• 1/2 cup Plant-based Oil

Directions

1. Drain the beans, and reserve two Tbsp of the liquid. Place the beans in a medium bowl and mash well.
2. Add the sage, carrot, shallot, and reserved liquid, and mix well.
3. Add the cornmeal, and use your hands to work it evenly into the bean mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.
5. Form mixture into six firmly packed patties. Carefully place them, one at a time, in the pan.
6. When the bottoms of the patties are golden brown (approx. 2-3 minutes), carefully flip them over. When the other side has reached the same color, transfer the patties to a cooling rack placed over a paper towel lined plate.
7. Allow the patties to cool slightly, then enjoy plain or with a favorite sauce (marinara is my favorite!). Serves three to six people.
