Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups frozen lima beans
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh chives
1 small handful fresh cilantro leaves
1 large handful fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 garlic clove -- roughly chopped
salt and pepper -- to taste
1 tablespoon spelt flour
Cook lima beans in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking. In a food processor, combine all ingredients, except spelt flour. Process to a finely chopped consistency {think falafel not dip consistency). Adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon of spelt flour. Form patties and saute in an oiled skillet until browned on both sides.
Yields approximately 12 2-inch patties.
AuthorNote: I put these through my Recipe Builder on WeightWatchers and it works out to be about 3 points for 1/2 the recipe! Totally worth it considering that is 6 small patties! These are also good in a WeightWatcher wrap with some fresh veggies and fat-free cheese slices.
I am going to be making Lima Bean Falafel as well to go with the soup on the side - I got this recipe from a wonderful site called Vegetarian Meal Plans (great blog!). I made these once before and loved them. I do find them a bit dry, but I like to serve them with low-fat dip on the side and that takes away any dryness.
ChupaNote: didnt have any spelt flour; I used whole wheat pastry flour. Also added a good sprinkling of red pepper flakes. Substituted fresh mint for chives. Basil would also work nicely. Next time will try cornstarch (instead of flour), and maybe a beaten egg equivalent to bind and make more moist.
