Directions

  1. Mix the semolina and bean puree in equal parts. ≈ 4 min
  2. Add water gradually until you have a thick paste. The spices can be added to the paste, but are especially important in the breading. ≈ 3 min
  3. Sauté the onion in a little oil and add it to the dough, along with the corn, bell pepper, mushrooms, or soy sauce, according to your preference.
  4. Mix the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and spices in a bowl, reserving some for later. ≈ 4 min
  5. Place the dough in flat patties on a baking sheet lined with breadcrumbs, then sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs over the patties to fully coat them. ≈ 2 min
  6. Gently slide them onto a large spatula and cook them in a hot frying pan with a small amount of oil, moving them around to ensure they brown evenly without becoming greasy.
