Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb black beans , cooked until tender, with 2 ham hocks and chicken stock , cooking liquid reserved
1/2 small onion, medium diced
1/2 tsp garlic
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
salt and white pepper
hot sauce
1/2 cup all purpose flour, seasoned with 1/2 tbsp essence , recipe follows
2 tbsp olive oil
lime crema , recipe follows
chunky guacamole , recipe follows
2 1/2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp dried leaf oregano
1 tbsp dried thyme
3 ripe avocados
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
1/2 red onion, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
salt and white pepper
hot sauce

Directions:

In the bowl of a food processor, puree 1/2 of the drained black beans. Add the onion, garlic and cilantro and pulse to combine. (A small amount of bean cooking liquid may be added as needed to puree.) Add the egg and pulse for 10 seconds. Transfer mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Add the remaining half of the beans and gradually add the flour until the mixture becomes firm enough to form into a loose ball. Add salt, pepper, and hot sauce. If too thick, adjust consistency with bean cooking liquid. Form cakes using a 4-ounce ice cream scoop. Dredge in seasoned flour prior to cooking. Heat a large non-stick saute pan to medium heat and add olive oil. Cook black bean cakes for 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Place a scant 1/4 cup of Lime Crema on a plate, place Bean Cake on top and garnish with a healthy dollop of Chunky Guacamole.
Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
