BEAN PATTIES WITH TOMATO RELISH This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Maxwell Estate in Grand Prairie, Texas in 1981.

Ingredients:

15 ounce can kidney beans rinsed and drained

1 medium tomato finely chopped

1 small white onion finely chopped

1 green bell pepper seeded and finely chopped

2 cloves garlic finely chopped

3 tablespoons cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

tomato relish

2 medium tomatoes chopped

1 tablespoon finely chopped celery leaves

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Mash beans with a fork and mix in the vegetables, cornmeal and seasonings.
2. Form into 6 patties then fry in lightly oiled skillet until lightly browned on both sides.
3. Combine all relish ingredients and stir to combine then serve over bean patties.
