3. Once the griddle has preheated, open the
unit to extend at and evenly distribute the
vegetables between the griddle plates. Cook
until vegetables are slightly soft and browned,
about 5 minutes.
4. While vegetables are cooking, pulse 1 cup of
the beans in a food processor so that they are
roughly puréed.
5. Once vegetables are done, return them to
the mixing bowl with both the whole and
puréed beans and mix well with the cilantro,
remaining spices and lime juice. Form bean
mixture into ¼-cup patties. Carefully wipe the
griddle with paper towels and then wipe them
again with the remaining olive oil.
6. Place bean cakes evenly spaced on the
griddle plates and cook about 5 to 6 minutes
on High.
Note: We recommend serving with sour cream,
salsa and guacamole.
