CRUNCHY WHITE BEAN FRITTERS

These little patties will make you want to twist and shout and let it all out.

There's a few ways to eat these easy little numbers : A) just patty them up and pop every, last one of them in your mouth like my husband did, or B) pile two or three on top of each other, top it with a perfect piece of salmon, chicken or petite filet and dress with some arugla or fresh parsley and a slice of lemon, you little FANCY PANTS, you.

The Components:

1 can of organic, great northern beans, drained (See "Oh Yea" tip at the bottom)

1/2 cup (or less) of freshly grated parm or romano cheese

1/2 white onion (minced)

3 tbsp either : cold pressed, organic extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil (See "Oh Yea" tip at the bottom)

2 tbps of fresh, squeezed lemon juice

1 cup of either: organic, unbleached flour or almond flower* (See "Oh Yea" tip at the bottom)

Nice handful of finely crushed Late July Sweet Potato Chips - optional

Dash of salt and pepper to taste

How to Make it Happen:

Sautee minced onion in about 1 tbps of oil of choice and place in medium bowl along with beans, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Dash a little salt and pepper. Mash together until it forms a chunky paste consistency. Place flour  of choice + sweet potato chip crumbles in shallow bowl or dish and mix together.

Next, spoon mixture and roll into golf ball sized balls. Once rolled, it's ok to smash them lightly with your hand (on top of the flour + sweet potato chip mixture) so they form cute, little patties and dredge them with the flour mixture. Not too much, though! Dust them off.

Heat oil of choice on MEDIUM and place patties in pan and sautee each side until golden brown. Use your judgement here. The middle will be cooked, I promise. Love.

Oh Yea's: 

• Canned items freak me out what with the BPA crap going around. So, look for the sign on the can that says, "NON-BPA LINING" lots of companies are headed in this direction (including some Libby's products,  Muir Glen, Eden Foods and more)!

• Buy the GREAT, PACKED IN ITALY here's why: Cute, little EVOO Cartoon.

• Whole Wheat flour is great but not for this recipe. It's a bit too thick, just trust me.
