Bean cutlets
Description
A few valuable tips for making bean patties. First, when preparing the main mixture (in a food processor) for bean patties, make sure it is uniform and finely textured. However, do not over-process, or you'll end up with a puree that cannot be shaped into patties. Second, if the mixture is difficult to shape into patties, you can add more breadcrumbs directly into the mixture. Third, if the bean patties seem too fragile, instead of frying them in a pan, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 175°C. Just remember to flip them halfway through the baking process.

Mix everything thoroughly. Then assess the mixture; if it turns out too runny, I recommend straining it through a fine sieve. Add breadcrumbs and mix everything well once again (with a fork).
