Pan Fried Solar Simmered Bean Patties

This is another hybrid recipe. Half-solar and half-traditionally cooked. Unlike most of my mixed cooking method dishes this one starts out in the Sun Oven, where the beans are cooked, and is finished up in a frying pan. The beans can be made ahead, while the sun’s shining. Don’t fry the patties until you’re ready to serve them.

How to make fried bean patties

1. Soak beans in a large bowl overnight.
2. Set Sun Oven out to preheat.
3. Combine beans, onion, celery, and clove in a large pot. Add enough
   water to cover by two inches. Cover the pot and place it in the SO.
4. Cook until beans are tender, about 1 ½ hours. Drain beans, remove
   and discard clove. Mash bean and vegetable mixture, add salt to taste.
5. When mixture is cool and you’re ready to fry the patties, mix in the
   egg yolks, bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese.
6. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Shape bean mixture into small patties.
7. Dip each patty in the egg whites, coat with bread crumbs and fry in batches. Drain patties on paper towels and keep warm as you continue frying.
8. Just before serving squeeze lemon onto the warm patties. Serve with lemon wedges.
