Green Beans Patties, Chilean Recipe Fritos de porotos verdesOk, I’m guilty. In these ten years in the U.S., never had made these green bean fritters… the horror! They are so classic in Chile. The problem is that my favorites are cauliflower, and my husband hates it, so I erase it from my mind.

Now, green bean fritters are back, and I hope they will stay on the weekly menu. These are delicious. When I was cooking, my daughter saw them and asked if I was making veggie burgers and agreed to try them! As you can see, it is a relatively simple recipe. You can add chopped chives or green onions and change the whole wheat flour for regular flour.

  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. If you throw water droplets, they should dance and evaporate almost immediately. Reduce heat to medium. Add one tablespoon olive oil, and place a generous scoop of green bean mixture in the pan, forming patties and cook for 5 minutes. Turn and cook 5 minutes more.

    Hi!
    I tried this with “harina tostada” (toasted flour?) and with Parmesan cheese it was good!

    Thanks!

    This recipe is a fabulous way to use up an overabundance of home grown green beans in one healthy meal!!! I made it with the optional green onions but without the optional cheese. Both my husband and I loved the patties.
